I'd like to formally request a "bend" of the rules to allow Elliot's
nomination. In addition to a heavy travel schedule this month, I've been
laid up with a minor, but confining, injury. As a result, I haven't been
in the office since November :) Compounding this is the fact that Elliot
is still in Africa and hasn't had great connectivity over the past week.
Although I know he has every intention of accepting his nomination and
I'd do it on his behalf if I could, I can't guarantee when he will do so.
I know this sounds like a hard luck story, but these are the facts :).
Special consideration in this instance would be appreciated, but I also
understand this might not be possible.
Thanks in advance for your consideration,
