Per the above timeline, nominations closed yesterday evening.

Nominations were received for Mike Meffie, Andrew Deason, Simon
Wilkinson, and Ben Kaduk.  The nominations of Mike Meffie and Simon
Wilkinson were seconded; the others were not.  Andrew Deason declined
his nomination.

That leaves Mike Meffie and Simon Wilkinson as candidates.  Mike has
accepted his nomination, but Simon has as yet not said anything.
Therefore, my next step will be to contact Simon and find out whether he
is willing to act as chair.
