So my first preference is that we accept both the coordinator election result AND the charter vote as valid, but I have encouraged Parminder to let the Appeals Team decide if this is unacceptable to him.

<font face="serif"><big><small>Jeremy, I am not sure I will like to use
the appeals team for this. Precisely because I consider it rather
likely that the appeals team, faced with having to take a formal
decision on the issue, may decide that the charter amendment process
was not right (among others, I read Avri too as saying that it would be
a close call).<br>

And I hope you have considered the implications of this. It will
invalidate the outputs of the nomcom constituted on the basis of the
charter amendment, whereby , a few weeks down, we will be left with not
having the slate of IGC nominees for the CSTD WG, to hurry towards
which we have got into all this. <br>

I would not like to expose ourselves to that risk.<br>

PS: However this does not rule out that someone else may appeal against
the process, and indeed I have read some views on the list which are at
least as critical of the way the process has been conducted a</small>s

My second preference is that if there are a sizable number of people for whom the first option is unacceptable, and if it this would overcome their concern and Parminder's, I will filter the results of the charter poll through last year's membership list (notwithstanding the problems with that list).
My third and least preferred option is to run the charter vote again after the coordinator ballot closes. I would need an Appeals Team decision on this before proceeding, because of the delay it would cause to our selection of the CSTD panel.
