Resending, due to typos...

Mawaki, except for Robin (and I think Norbert, who I think has confirmed
interest in re-election), we do have not candidates who presented
themselves formally for election/re-election. Milton has been proposed,
but unless I missed some message, he has not formally presented himself
as candidate.

I guess it would be interesting to have more than one candidate for all
positions, but this is of concern only of NCUC members themselves.
