[council] Council members for (PDP-Feb06)

[Ross Rader]

The registrar constituency, per its bylaws and rules of procedure, 
commenced the election process for these three seats. The nomination 
period has closed and the ballot is being prepared. I don't have the 
exact timing memorized, but I expect that if the processes is executed 
promptly, that we will have formal representatives in place over the 
next two weeks. (we require at least one week for nominations, one week 
for notice of the election and inspection of the ballot and one week for 
the actual election).
