    <p>I really, really like this idea - especially the consensus
      part... and also as it seems we only have two truly suitable
      candidates.<br>
    </p>
    <blockquote>
      <p><i>1.  We select the two candidates as above, in my opinion
          with Vincent in the two-year tenure and Darwin in the one year
          tenure.  By consensus if possible.</i></p>
    </blockquote>
    <p>I have individually asked both Vincent and Darwin whether they
      would be agreeable to this and they both stated <b>Yes </b>as
      per above.<br>
      <b></b></p>
    <p><i>        2.  Given that the next meeting is two months from
        now, I would like to propose that we measure these<br>
                tenures as from "this year" such that the effective
        tenures will be one and two years respectively from now,...</i><br>
      <i></i></p>
    <p>I also agree with this - I don't want a repeat of all this in two
      months time.</p>
    <p>I don't expect full consensus - I honestly expect between 4 and
      10 people to say No, and to repeat that several times. I would
      though love to see masses of support for this. This will save
      quite a bit of time (and money).. and allow us all to proceed
      fairly quickly with new Co-Chairs - and back to a level of sanity!<br>
    </p>
    <p>Please can we sort this out by <b>Reasonable Consensus!</b><br>

      <p>Hi All,</p>
      <p>Given that we've repeatedly stated that there should be a
        nominator and a seconder for all nominations, this means we only
        really received 3 nominations (3,4,5 below).</p>
      <p>Given that Abulkarim (4) was one of the co-chairs removed by
        the recall committee, and there has been controversy around the
        previous co-chairs, in my opinion we only really have two
        candidates.</p>
      <p>And both of these candidates seems to be good choices.  From
        Vincent's (3) nomination, by Barry:</p>
      <p>"Vincent is an outstanding person for the PDWG as he was the
        first co-chair of the same back in the days. we need to bring
        back the fundamental values and hence i nominate him"</p>
      <p>I could not agree more about bringing back the fundamentals,
        and plainly Vincent has experience in a co-chair position that
        we desperately need at this point in time.<br>
      </p>
      <p>Regarding Darwin (5), I've gone back and read a fair number of
        his emails over the last year or so, and Darwin in my opinion
        has a level head, the ability to reason and understand as well. 
        I could not find a single example of him being involved
        personally in a controversy in spite of him providing his
        opinion on a number of topics.<br>
      </p>
      <p>I would thus like to make two proposals.</p>
      <p>1.  We select the two candidates as above, in my opinion with
        Vincent in the two-year tenure and Darwin in the one year
        tenure.  By consensus if possible.</p>
      <p>2.  Given that the next meeting is two months from now, I would
        like to propose that we measure these tenures as from "this
        year" such that the effective tenures will be one and two years
        respectively from now, and not "puppet" and "one year"
        effectively.</p>
