It seems to me that Bhavin's act of withdrawing on *the_day_after* he

nominations.  Those who nominated and seconded his nomination, and those of 
us who stood by silently and approved, deserve no less than that:

I have given this some thought, and had some discussions with Jon. I had
taken up the position of Chair after significant deliberation 2 years ago.
