The process that was announced called for people to send nominations
directly to the chair rather than to the list, so that's what people doing
the nominating did.  I don't think it's surprising that the other 30
nominees all thought, well, whatever, that's the process this time, and
nobody else is saying anything...

Actually we discussed that at some length prior to the constitution of the
nomcom.  You were part of the discussion, I have several saved messages from
you here, mid-March.

Sorry, I'm missing your point.  We discussed criteria and there was a list
of items that then got folded into the call for nominees.  What vested
interests are you talking about with respect to that?

Cheers,

Bill
