Update about this thing: Jim reapplied. I just approved his application.
In his application, he says:

" I applied a couple weeks ago.

 For some mysterious reason, it seems to
 have been dropped on the floor.

 Sigh."

I think that this would allow him to run for elections. However, I
prefer that the board takes the final decision on this. I'm writing a
mail right now for this.
