NC needs input at the latest by 2001-03-25.
I am willing to prepare a summary of the discussion on the GA during that 
weekend (the 25 is a Sunday).
We may also think to have a short vote if there is a strong position coming 
out during the next 7 to 10 days.

I am not sure that this is necessary, because the nomination process will 
not take a huge amount of time from the members, and the election itself is 
after the deadline, but if people perceive this as a need, we may postpone 
the election of a couple of weeks.

????
I don't have any interest in staying in office longer than strictly 
necessary for the GA to decide a successor, but I will not leave one day 
earlier than the moment in which a new chair will be in office.
I think that it is in order that the current Chair + Alt Chair coordinate 
this phase.
