I don't see the absence of a non voting chair as an issue. We do what  
we can with our limited resources.

I don't see your point here. Whatever way one might understand when  
it is done (and note that the nomcom already published its results on  
this list), we have the precedent of the previous candidates selection.

Why?

In any case, you just informed thus in the mean time that the  
deadline would be 21 May. This leaves us plenty of time to do what  
I've proposed. Let's see if there are other people against it, and  
what are their reasons - if we have some explanations, then we might  
at least understand why we shouldn't use this opportunity).

Best,
Meryem
