Even the informal poll found no more than 6 people so far interested enough
to vote, even though the polling site is open to all and requires no password.

Result: 3 votes for Roberto Gaetano, 2 for Mark Langston and 1 for Harald
Alvestrand.

The "even more informal poll" wich included the names of Mr Williams and Mr
Baptista and a disapproval option to make it more interesting, did not
attract more than 7 voters either. (No approvals from the 98K INEG
membership :-))

If this GA would care to elect its own chair, wouldn't you expect that they
would visit a polling booth that gave them the opportunity to do so?

Disenchanted and disheartened is the right choice of words.
