Doug,

sorry for the delay, I was in holidays without access to my mail, but now I am 
back. I have now followed the last weeks of the mailing list and it seems to me 
that there are only three nominations:

Kim Kimball
Jeffrey Hutzelman
Mike Meffie

where Kim still hasn't replied to the question if he would accept his nomination.

So now we either could follow strictly Simon Wilkinson's proposal and start the 
voting with two candidates or we could do it less strictly and wait for an 
answer of Kim before starting the voting.

What do you prefer, Doug? I am open for both ways.

Hartmut
