Who are "we"?  So far I have seen you and Parminder, and maybe a couple of
others (Tayob and such) in agreement. And I have seen various other people
on the list entirely not in agreement in this.

That certainly doesnt give you consensus of any sort.  And as I said to
Jeremy, you cant even claim to represent all of CS on this list.

Well yes, you can submit all these and then have several of your
nominations thrown out, I guess.
