FYI -- I did not oppose Grace's voting idea: if you could retrace her thread, you'll find out that I was the first one to support her. I changed my mind after the chaos that arose and found it better if the three of us deal with it off-list. There's no need of making it public at the expense of losing more Wikimedians.

Greetings Wiki-medians,
I hope this finds you all well. Today has been quite 'interesting' as it seems so far; but as initially stated, let us maintain our cool even when expressing our disagreements. Anyway, we are all humans, and we can't avoid to err at some point or another. So lets not lose anyone because of a simple challenge like this put before us. This is quite normal, so lets pick ourselves up and find the best way to choose who will go and represent us in South Africa.

I must commend Grace's efforts in trying to find a suitable solution to try and beat the deadlock. However, in the presence of serious opposition especially from the relevant participants, I think it would not be suitable for our plan to commence Grace. So lets here this gentlemen out first before we can finalize on that voting idea.
 
Therefore, I would suggest that Abbas, Oscar, Alex and Others form a string and tell us why they think that they can be able to do this on there own or why voting by all the members is not necessary.

On the other hand, I, Grace and the others who feel that voting is necessary are similarly going to form a string giving reasons as expected therein.

I intend this to go on until tomorrow ten o'clock in the morning  where a final decision would be made on whether or not the entire members will vote on the matter (representative to go to S. A).

As said it is a suggestion and I require you guys to second it before it can take effect or be discarded. Thank you and lets get through this in one piece. Have a great evening all.
