While allowing for practical exceptions at the edge is prudent (ie -
there aren't yet any Registrar Representatives, therefore all
nominations are invalid), we should try to follow through on what the
bylaws actually say as closely as possible. I've sent Rick an analysis
of what the appropriate courses of action are - I've no doubt that he'll
make a reasonable decision. It would be a tragedy to throw out the
bylaws as being inconvenient this early in the game - let's stick it out
a little bit further and see what we learn about our constitution.

Consider this set of events precedent #1. :)
