I am slightly disturbed that despite the vote having failed, that some
members of the NC are using the fact that the e-mail vote was informal
to relitigate the issue in a teleconference vote.  It would be a bad
idea to make a change to the election rules on a 2nd vote when the
change will affect the current election.
