OK, I've got it!

I support (second) Caroline's resolution and call for an election.

We are not still discussing.  The motion I posted Monday which only
deals with waiving the rule which currently prohibits Philip from
running is on the table.  I have copied my email and motion below.

Glen, can you set up a vote so we can have the vote end no later than
Feb 3rd so we can start taking nominations on the 4th as scheduled?


WHEREAS the current Rules of Procedure for the DNSO (version 4) adopted
by the Names Council on 26 February 2001 (see
http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/20020117.NCprocedures-v4.0.html),
provide:

"1. Names Council Chair
1.1 Election.  The NC Chair will be elected by the members of the NC by
simple majority vote and will hold office for a period of six months.
One renewal, subject to a fresh vote, of six months will be allowed. A
retiring Chair will not be eligible for re-election for a period of one
year."

WHEREAS, under these rules, the current NC Chair, Philip Shepard, is
ineligible to run for re-election to the NC Chair;

NOW, THEREFORE, the NC moves as follows:

Solely for the purposes of the NC Chair election taking place on
February 14, 2002, the NC moves to waive the provision of Section 1.1 of
the Rules of Procedure for the DNSO which prohibits a retiring NC Chair
from running for re-election for a period of one year.

Would someone please state the "current, revised" motion so we can vote
on it?

Or are we still discussing?
