I too strongly support Norbert's candidature. In fact, in preference to
my own...
Now, if this is not too complex a deal for the selecting committee to
understand and undertake, I suggest the following:
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.
However if he is not being selected, *my nomination stands*....
Request, not to make any mistake on this :) .
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*...
Hoping that this makes the task of the committee simpler, which is the
intention, rather than make it more complex.
