I'm planning, absent a convincing argument about why this is a hideously bad idea, to withdraw. I've never really wanted the office, and I'm a bit uneasy about taking on more workload. At the time I joined, I was unaware of any candidacy except Rada's. Under those circumstances, I wanted to provide an alternative. Right now I see fewer and fewer reasons to stay in the race, and more and more to leave it to others. G., if you wanted to join the race (I think you still can, haven't checked) and reform the office, I'd like to note that you're the best Referee we've had in my memory. Otherwise, people are free to vote for Corona, and I hope they will, because it makes little sense to reelect someone to the very office they last left... under a cloud, so to speak. If I remain in the race, it would be at the most as a temporary placeholder, and right now that doesn't look very appealing to me.
