[tei-council] Electing a TEI Technical Council Chair for next year.

[James Cummings]

Fair enough. How about if I change that step to something like 
"The Chair (or if the Chair is standing in the election a 
volunteer from Council member who is not standing) will set up 
the election....etc. etc." does that sound clear enough? We want 
something that is clear but doesn't necessarily tie us into too 
rigid structures.

We had volunteers of Sebastian, Peter, and Brett if memory 
serves.... Since Brett is departing, if he is still willing, then 
I'd be happy with him doing so as something before he goes. (If 
you are still willing Brett?)
