There will be separate threads in the members section of the NAF forum for both Nominations, Q&A and the final election. Aside of this there will be a thread where all discussion on the nominees, the questions and the answers can take place.

Definitely not a potential candidate, but curious anyway:

What was it about the poisoned chalice that made you decide to not stand for re-election?

Over Christmas? Is it the best timing? Why not wait just a week or two and put it away from the holiday season?

The timing has good points and bad points. The newsletter is being written. And I'm not re-standing as part of a wider viewpoint that I am taking on my life to have some time away from being obliged to do things, and just doing things that I choose to do.

The timing was exactly the same way as last presidential election. Over the holidays people have definately time ;)

And I probably had similar thoughts last time. Most people have other things on their mind at Christmas.

When Dwarf coaches show up to a tournament, they're not the best. They’re people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
