Well, hmmm.

Those of you who are closely involved probably have
figured that things have changed again.  Those who
haven't heard anything are left to guess or find
clever ways to figure it out :-)

So now we need a new strategy.  We're less close
now to having a qualified candidate in time for 
even the regularly scheduled election (which to fit
in this year, would have to be finalized by this
Friday, clearly not possible).  We've got a steering
committee of seven, which includes all three of 
the election committee.  Amongst us, we  should be 
able to work out a way forward that's within the charter. 

I don't actually remember the exact dates of the last
election, we could probably find it, but there's
not much point in fussing to the day making sure it's
exactly two years since the last, but even by an
approximation we're going to be late, and this 
puts us in kind of a weird state.  There's no
problem with my sticking around until we have a
replacement during the term I'm elected for, I
said I'd do that in my (attempted) resignation.
But what do we do past that point?

One thought has been to do a sort of two-in-a-box
(Intel term that is, sorry) with me and a certain
other person whose existence has not yet been
announced officially yet... that is, co-chair for
some period; but I don't know how to set that up,
even if it's the right thing to do.  So I'm looking
for suggestions here, guys!
