There's certainly plenty to be done.  But I don't think it's fair to say 
there's a "backlog" resulting from not yet having David's counts.  As I 
noted before, discussion does not require chairs.  Editing and updating 
documents in response to comments does not require chairs.  Achieving 
consensus does not require chairs.  Furthermore, prior to the start of the 
election process, we were operating informally, and that didn't prevent us 
from effectively agreeing things were done and getting them implemented.

Since I issued a consensus call on the provisional charter on July 7, there 
have been 19 messages discussing one document (PTS name mapping), which 
resulted in 3 revisions to that document and, hopefully, something closer 
to consensus on that document; all of that discussion occurred within a 
one-week period.  There was also one message from Tom announcing a new 
version of the AFSVol TLV document, to which there were no replies.

So, maybe one document is stalled waiting for chairs to issue a consensus 
call.  Maybe.  There is certainly not a "backlog" of work waiting for 
chairs' attention.
