[governance] Nominations for new Co-coordinator

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

I still fail to see the point of that because I regret that I only know enough Spanish to order my dinner and call a taxi.  

The finer points that are sought to be made are just as much lost to me as is for example a historical novel by arturo perez reverte (who I read in translation but that, my Spanish speaking friends assure me, is no substitute for the original)
