Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] withdrawal from Board election

Vasile, +1. You have my full support for this course of action. I am not aware of any voting system that permits withdrawal of a candidate during the voting period. In my view, withdrawal during the voting period is out of order. Should the candidate be elected, the candidate may then

Well, I have been following this election's discussion and refrained from adding to the noise. I hoped as a group of *volunteers* everything would be settled with some pragmatism. Didn't happen. Jeff please do not walk away. There are many elected/appointed watchers/officials of the rules (board,

Dear Vasile, for what is worth, from my short experience as a CRO for GRASS' PSC elections last year, and I mean my readings on and off in trying to be useful for the process, I think it is not useful to cancel running elections. Nor it is to accept any withdrawal during the process. The
