For those commenting here that they would like to see all AffCom recognized chapters voting for the Chair, please note this would take a resolution to change the charter (section B Art 3) "Each Chapter selects one Council Member, by announcement of the Chapter to the Chair of the Council."
I estimate that in practice such a resolution would mean that we could not run the election for Chair until after the Milan conference, and I would have no confidence that it would pass. @Jan-Bart, as the only WMF trustee discussing this here so far, and as the person who started this line of discussion, would the WMF trustees be content to see me stay in place for so long whilst we reach a consensus? I was aiming to open nominations at midnight today my time, so apologies if by the time you read this it is already too late to change the schedule.
