Votetaker's Comments

The three accepted applications were pretty straightforward. There
was an additional application from Stephen Cole, who provided eight
nominators, but of these three were invalid email addresses and two
have not responded, so he did not reach the required four nominators.

I have not listed the applicants' Personal Statements in these results
as these are effectively election manifestoes, and there is to be no
election.
