Section 5.7 says that the remaining Trustees can vote in a replacement for Seemant. It doesn't require us to re-open voting with the membership. Grant - as you're now the senior Trustee, can we rely on you to organise a Trustees meeting to discuss this, and hopefully vote in a successor for Seemant?

We take the first winner from Gentoo Devmatch and proclaim them supreme commander of the Gentoo fleet.

Thus, there is no well-defined path. The options are: (1) Follow the bylaws, and the remaining trustees will pick a replacement. (2) Bump up the largest vote recipient who didn't make the cut (r103). (3) Or re-open nominations The remaining trustees just held a brief meeting and discovered that (1) and (2) produce the same outcome--r103 replacing seemant. That's what we're going with, then. Congratulations to r103! Meanwhile, we promise to get a revised set of bylaws put together (and approved!) so that we don't wind up in this predicament again. -g2boojum- -- Grant Goodyear Gentoo Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gentoo.org/~g2boojum GPG Fingerprint: D706 9802 1663 DEF5 81B0 9573 A6DC 7152 E0F6 5B76 pgpmCXoznurCU.pgp Description: PGP signature
