So, I brought it up because issues like this are better addressed before there are misunderstandings than after. Still, traditionally in the past we've had tables of nominees, whether they accepted, links to manifestos, etc. That doesn't work quite as elegantly when everybody is nominated. Also, a bulk nomination like this may discourage others from re-nominating the same individual. Nominations are as much about encouraging people to seriously run for office and not just a process. Otherwise we'd just nominate ourselves. I don't want somebody who might not have seriously considered running for council to not consider doing so because somebody didn't think to nominate them because technically it was already done. But, this isn't a big deal either way. I won't make any assumptions as to what the full intent of nominating almost everybody was. Wulf can say whatever he cares to if he cares to. So, just about everybody is nominated now, but don't let that discourage anybody from re-nominating others or running if they think there is some good they can do. Rich
