Sure, Milton. All this is absolutely clear to me. Mr Morfin says he 
wants to be a candidate if he is accepted -- did not specify to which 
post. He will certainly have to understand the constituency makes 
decisions on behalf of NCUC, not individual members.

I am very sorry I am part of the confusion as I could not vote on time 
and participate more in this. But the objective fact is that I feel the 
process had its problems and Jef has reasons to complain.
