So my concern was your statement "I'll start a vote soon, while it lasts", when there has not been a call for nominations, nor a 3-day period of time. It sounds like someone has solicited up nominations via private emails. Let's do this in public. Yes, we had discussion before, but some of the candidates who previously dropped out seem to now be back in, due to these private conversations. Maybe others would emerge if we did this openly. So let's be fair and have an actual open "call for nominations" if we're going to have a 2nd round of this, and not just rush to a vote based on backroom discussions.
