That wasn't my point. Apologies for the confusion I seem to be causing 
today.

I was simply stating that we are actually talking about "Elected 
Representatives" here - ie - a member that the constituency elects to 
represent our interests on a working group, task force, steering 
committee, board or other GNSO body.

If this is the case, we have a requirement to have a 14 day nomination 
period, a 48 hour "notice period" and a 7 day ballot.

I did not mean to imply that only currently elected or previously 
elected individuals were eligible for this spot but that simply we had a 
a) requirement to have a longer election than what the Excomm had 
provided for, and b) that there was no fast-track process as per Bruce's 
message because we were actually talking about an election process that 
was covered by the bylaws.

(c) also note well for the record that I have no plans to run for this 
position nor accept any nomination for it ;)
