If the tentative chairs have no objection, let's have them move ahead on any chair-ish business as if the vote had succeeded. The only downsides I see are that nothing they do is official until the vote is formalized, and that there is the small chance the third counter will come up with some different election result. If David doesn't surface after appropriate nagging, we could punt the issue to the IETF higher-ups for guidance. We could ask the voters to re-send their votes to a different vote counter. I'd be happy to receive them. With Thomas Kula right down the hall, it would be fast and easy to keep on top of the incoming votes and nag those voters who hadn't re-sent. This assumes, of course, that it doesn't cause the IETF higher-ups to have a conniption. Should a full re-vote be required, I'd be happy to serve as third counter and would withdraw as candidate. Somehow I doubt the result would be changing in my favor. :-) Steve _______________________________________________ AFS3-standardization mailing list [email protected] http://michigan-openafs-lists.central.org/mailman/listinfo/afs3-standardization
