  Yes that's true. Vincent has been doing a lot, and as a result found
himself in an uneasy position, let's just try to avoid this in the future,
but it's all dependant on other people voluteering to help splitting the
workload.

  Yes, I think so, we took that decision formally on the Board meeting 
Wednesday, we are now Friday, I think it is reasonnable to close the
call for candidates by now. If someone who was candidate but that the
recent announcement makes him/her not willing to candidate anymore,
will still have the opportunity to resign from the elections, but we 
shall not accept candidates anymore at this point.

  I think it is all in the hands of the Election commitee, they should
resume their normal process. Sorry for the turbulences, fasten your seat
belt, we should land shortly :-)
