It would be appreciated if you would check with the prospective nominee first to make sure that s/he is willing to serve, although I will check with them as well. Pending any unexpected delays, nominations will CLOSE on 1 Feb, the election will open shortly thereafter (I will provide a link to it then), and the election will CLOSE on 1 March unless an extension is appropriate per our bylaws.
