>>
>>  In future if we want to allow people to vote for "none of the above", in

>> all of us during the pre-election period to ensure that there is a slate
>> of
>> candidates at least one of whom everyone would be happy with.  (To avoid
>> misunderstanding, I am not imputing to those who voted informally this
>> year

>> you think?
>>
>>  The list of voting members will be updated on our website soon, probably
>> within the next 48 hours.  Izumi and I will also be briefing Sala on her

>> role.
