So my concern was your statement "I'll start a vote soon, while it lasts", when there has not been a call for nominations, nor a 3-day period of time.
Fair. You all get three days. But no more than that, please. We are really in need for a solution.
It sounds like someone has solicited up nominations via private emails.
I have no problems to admit that, since vote on the only candidate could not be considered successful and I wished to avoid to vote with zero candidates, I asked other nominees to reconsider in the order in which they had declined. I stopped as soon as I found one, but indeed I'll give everyone else the opportunity to reconsider. And others to join. I'll only put a condition: either nominate yourself (at this point, preferred) or get approval by your nominee BEFORE sending in the nomination.
Let's do this in public.
So: Rob, Juergen, Marcus, Kay, you declined your nomination before we compiled the final list of nominees last round. Have you changed your mind? If so, please nominate yourself within the next three days.
And if other people want to join the nominees, please do. Including Louis obviously.
So let's be fair and have an actual open "call for nominations" if we're going to have a 2nd round of this, and not just rush to a vote based on backroom discussions.
With three days, you won't have the "None of the above" options. Three days (after 26 days!) are enough to consider this to be fair for any definition of fair. We already discussed the voting procedure back at the time and I'm not going to revisit it unless there are objections.
Thanks!
In exchange, I ask everybody to be constructive and polite. Note that I may be offline for (relatively) long periods due to travel in the next days, so I may not be able to start or close the vote in a timely fashion.
