By all means, all of our members are given a chance to get nominated or even step up and say that they are interested, which can be done publicly or privately.

The last two slots were nominated in the last 24 hrs, after not enough candidates had come through. I would really like to see new faces step into the EC and I encourage them to take the initiative to get nominated. There are still almost eight hours left of the two week nomination period.

Dear Poncelet,

Thank you for your confidence. Unfortunately I can't really spare the
time, and also it would not be good to have both Chair and Vice Chair
from the same country let alone the same organization, so I'll have to
decline.

Sincerely,

Tapani
