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
