Eric, I'm not trying to cut anything short, just keeping it moving along. The sooner we have a new Chair, the sooner I'm no longer filling that role in the interim :) I am also happy to second the nomination of Eric Brunner-Williams for Chair.

Connelly; Registrars Constituency; brunner@nic-naa.net Subject: Re: [registrars] Nominations for Chair. Tim, Between Bob's note of the 25th and today I didn't actually notice a date when nominations would close. I could have overlooked it, and some mail to the list appears to be duplicated and time-delayed (your note of the 4th, apparently resent on the 7th). In any event, since no one seconded the nomination by Werner Staub and Marcus Faure, I suppose I don't need to accept the nomination now that the vote has been called. For what it is worth, had the nomination a second, I would have accepted and worked up the conflicts statement and so on. My point is only this, process counts. Eric
