That would have been good.  Though some might have worried about
speaking openly about the candidates - while it is political, it is not
the dog eat dog politics we often experience.

Though we did have the face to face, with remote, opportunity to
interview them in Copenhagen, which was a open meeting and not a back
room cabal.   And at least on the NCSG side, the vote was by the
individual council members and we do not know who each of them consulted
in making up their minds.

I am personally sad that so few voted for Markus given his support for
much that we seem to support, though I am very happy for Matt and hope
he serves us as well. It was one of the rare elections where I like both
candidates.
