2014-05-13 16:16:19	zahlman	thirded.

2014-05-13 16:21:02	kantu	well I also endorse the nomination, if it means anything

2014-05-13 16:21:34	danr	4th!

2014-05-13 16:42:09	ldlework	J Camaron Rogers: I don't really do IRC, but you can let them know that {la kronaz} casts a vote in the affirmative. 

2014-05-13 17:26:28	 *	cimi1 supports

2014-05-13 17:29:55	dank	i will give him my vote too. ;)

2014-05-13 19:02:59	TheSupernatural	But if selpa'i is the benevolent dictator for life... I'm cool with that

2014-05-13 20:51:13	@tsani	ldlework: please add Zearen to the list.

Djunias Cmaluprenu Agreed. Selpa'i for jboturni!

Sean Inman Maybe now I can come back to IRC. I fully support selpa'i on this.

Philip Yu should I still have the ability to decide on yes-or-no for selpa'i, I would choose yes.

00:03:50          @Broca | We need someone to Get Stuff Done, so for that he has my provisional approval

Ali Sajid Imami I have known selpahi for a while. he is extremely dedicated and obviously the correct choice. I vote yea
10:48 < banseljaj> My standing vote for selpa`i is Yea

Gunnar Yngman I'll second this motion.

Ilmen | well last time I've been asked this I replied "yes"
ldlework | Ilmen: and this time? :)
Ilmen | ldlework: I didn't change my mind :)                                                                                        

10:08:56          @xalbo | So you can count that as a yea.

I wish this proposal well and think it would be beneficial for Lojban.

This seems like LLG business to me. (But as an LLG member my vote on more leadership by active dedicated people will always be yes.)

I'm just a suburban citizen of Lojbanistan but I vote for yes. And my thanks to Robin, too.

Robin, the current BDFL has decided to abstain from voting directly. However he has the following to say:

2014-05-13 22:33:59	rlpowell	ldlework: I confirm [that] I'd [just] as soon someone else took my lojbanic authority.
2014-05-13 22:37:40	rlpowell	I'm ever so slightly mildly skeptical about selpa'i specifically because he's not well known throughout the community the way I was.
2014-05-13 22:37:54	ldlework	I imagine he soon will be.
2014-05-13 22:37:58	rlpowell	i.e. Bob, jcowan, Nora, etc have no idea who he is I don't think; he's mostly a force on IRC.
2014-05-13 22:38:13	rlpowell	Right, but the point was that I hade a broad cross-section of people who respected my contributions, including the oldbies.
2014-05-13 22:38:21	ldlework	I'm fairly certain that jcowan does.
2014-05-13 22:38:25	rlpowell	I'm mildly worried that his lack of presence there will leadto schism or something.
2014-05-13 22:38:35	rlpowell	Havnig said that, I certainly don't know of anybody *better* suited for the job.
2014-05-13 22:38:52	ldlework	well, I think that endorsement is going to go a long way
2014-05-13 22:38:52	rlpowell	and I, personally, like him and his attitude towards Lojban.

Selpahi responded:

                         | fair, Nora and Bob haven't been paying much attention to what's been going on in Lojbanistan, so I don't see it as my fault that     
                         | they don't know me.                                                                                                                  
09:25:01         selpahi | [16:08:55] I'm not only active on IRC but also on the mailing list where I *think* I have contributed enough to show that I know     
                         | what I'm talking about when it comes to Lojban. I'm sure that if we asked the people on the mailing list, quite a few could tell you 
                         | who I am and how much I have contributed.                                                                                            
09:25:01         selpahi | [16:09:04] I'm not sure what else I could have done to get Nora, Bob and John to know me than to simply put my stuff out there and   
                         | be involved in every Lojban platform I know of for the last few years.
