Congratulations to the new GRASS GIS PSC members! 

And a big thank to Nikos for taking the CRO role!

I support Nikos' suggestion for more candidate's presentations before voting
is starting. 

And it may be considered the next time to do PSC elections outside of
holiday time. 

Thanks and congratulations!
