Maybe not known for everyone, I want to point out the following:
Please use the VOTE thread *only* for voting. For discussions it is best
to open a new [DISCUSS] thread to leave the voting clean from discussion
stuff.
Now back to the question "Why is the vote still going on?":
I don't see a need to cancel the vote as:
1) it is allowed to change your vote as often you want as long as the
vote is still open.
2) we need a "[0] Abstain" way to express, e.g., "I cannot support the
volunteer (due to reason X) but also don't want to vote with -1". With a
lazy consensus instead vote you need to write *in any way* why you don't
want to have the volunteer as chair.
3) the remaining volunteer is still here and willing to take over. So,
what would be the advantage of cancelling this vote and starting a new
vote with only Peter as electable person? ;-)

I am not sure about the rules, but it is not uncommon that one nominee
resigns and the remaining one gets votes... ;-)

I do not understand. :(
But isn't the vote then invalid?

End of October I wrote that I would like to resign from the Apache
OpenOffice PMC Chair position. I'm the chair a bit more than 1 year
and until now we have rotated the role every year.
Luckily we have 2 volunteers: Carl and Peter. Therefore please vote
by
replying to this thread.
[ ] Carl Marcum (cmarcum)
[ ] Peter Kovacs (petko)
[ ] Abstain (I cannot/won't choose between them)
The [VOTE] will close in about 7 days (Fri 15 Dec 2017, 21:00 UTC),
to
give all PMC members the opportunity to participate. For a converted
time fitting to your location see here:
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20171215T2100
After the vote:
I will submit a resolution to the Board asking to be replaced by the
most voted of the 2 candidates. The plan is to submit the resolution
for the Board meeting on 20th December 2017, so that it can be
effective right after that.
PS:
The next board report is due for mid January and of course I will
help
the new chair with this but also other chair tasks.
