<font face="Verdana">I too strongly support Norbert's</font>
candidature. In fact, in preference to my own...<br>
<br>
Now, if this is not too complex a deal for the selecting committee
to understand and undertake, I suggest the following:<br>
<br>
That the committee considers Norbert's name in preference to mine,
and *if* he is selected for the executive committee, I will consider
myself, and those nominating me, represented.<br>
<br>
However if he is not being selected, *my nomination stands*....
Request, not to make any mistake on this :) . <br>
<br>
Same for the High Level Committee about Roberto Savio, Sean O
Siochru and Roberto Bissio (and Louis Pouzin, if as Daniel
indicated, he is being considered). *If* any of these are being
selected for the HL Committee, I have no desire to be considered.
But again, if they are not, *my nomination stands*... <br>
<br>
Hoping that this makes the task of the committee simpler, which is
the intention, rather than make it more complex. <br>
