Thanks for this, Moritz. I believe we may still change things and adhere 
to proposal 2) because no PSC member has yet announced her/his intention 
to stand up for reelection. But then I am not sure what would be 
required for that. A PSC motion? Too late for that may be. A broad 
agreement here on the PSC list?  Perhaps. On the other hand, if a 
current member wants to stand up for reelection she/he still has to 
explicitly announce it. It is not that a PSC member automatically goes 
on as candidate.

But now, a whole day has passed and I only got one nomination. I am 
starting to consider the worrying scenario that we may not have enough 
nominations. Perhaps I will have to run a more aggressive campaign of 
announcements in a few days.
