-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I tried to present your proposal for consideration at the meeting, but because of the difficulties I was having using IRC, I could not really press the issue, for which I apologize. Your proposal encompassed everything on the agenda, as far as I was concerned and I though then and still do think it is a very good solution to all of our concerns about direction and leadership.
As far as you being Transitional Leader, you probably are much more qualified for that role than I am, and I support your bid for that role. We've had enough squabbling over this. Let's get it settled and done and get down to work. Whether everyone believes it or not, this is all I have wanted us to do.
