Uhhm, isn't the deadline this Saturday, November 10th?  The week hasn't
ended yet, at least not in my timezone.  (Its not even noon).

At any rate, I think Leslie is a superb candidate; I think it would be 
inappropriate to exclude her from consideration.   I'm somewhat
disappointed with the nomination process in that people are nominating
themselves, instead of kicking back and thinking "who would be best
suited to run this thing?"  I'd rather see the board consist of people
who can get the job done, than people whose only reason to be on the
board is to be 'famous'.
