Hi,
I am not sure I understand your question.
The charter determines that there will be 2 coordinators. As a
startup process, the charter indicates that we elect one for 2 years
and one for 1 year, so that we have staggered terms.
As for declaring this non democratic, the nominations have been open
to ALL, and we have two candidates for two roles. I do not see what
is non democratic about following out process, or following either of
the option I offered.
