Works for me.

Any other ideas or concerns to be worked out before we start the voting?
I'd like to get it kicked off by the end of the week; I'm going to be
away on travel next week.

Speaking of which, we talked about having an election committee, to set
up and proctor the election, answer questions, collect names,
troubleshoot issues that come up, and verify the election is being
properly conducted.  Probably make sense for them to do weekly meetings
for the duration of the election to hand out action items.  We can ask
for non-board volunteers (and I have a couple suggestions) but I'd like
the committee to be coordinated by a board member.  Tav's coordinating
the hackfest stuff so will be tied up with that (as will I).  So Ted,
Josh, and Jon - would some/all of the three of you form this committee,
and pick one of the three of you to coordinate it?
