[council] Timing for vote, election planning

[Elisabeth Porteneuve <Elisabeth.Porteneuve@cetp.ipsl.fr>]

Colleagues,

PROXY
-----
I have a proxy given by Caroline to Guillermo.
We need a replacement to Paul Kane for votes.

I would appreciate to know all PROXIES as soon as possible
(before 1 September 2001 would be greatly appreciated).


TIME
----
Today we know that there are 4 candidates running, which gives
us a mathematical upperlimit: after 1st ballot we have no more
than 3 names, after 2nd no more than 2 names, and, unless tie,
we have a winner in the third.

We have agreed on votes:
        Vote 1 Sat 8 September, after the NC meeting
        Vote 2 Mon 10
        Vote 3 Thu 13
        Vote 4 Fri 14
        Tel conf Sat 15
which implements:
(thanks to Marilyn to help me to clarify and correct)
