Without placing any judgement on Tim and June's decision to quit as Chair, I do feel that the decision to halt the elections is unwise.

If the polls were allowed to continue, under the auspices of "admin", then the so-elected comittee could then elect a new chair from amongst their number. This would save valuable time. To terminate the current polls could be seen as being disrespectful to those who have already attained the required consent of the membership

So, T&J, may I respectfully and gently request that the polls continue? You may not wish to continue in your elected position, but there are others who have also been elected, who may wish to take up their mandate.


Also, I do hope June recovers speedily. One of the reasons I have done no caching over the August-September months is because I too have been quite ill and it's not nice.
