Actually, I've voted for both you and me -- I'm most interested
in getting a chairman quickly.

I've gotten private email from Guy, and sent him a personal copy of the
committee email that I had on hand. I expect to hear from him again real
soon now.

If anything it's the other way around -- the project leader cannot hold
the position of technical committee chairman.
More official actions that could be taken to straighten this out are:
(1) add a couple more people to the committee [would increase quorum by
one and add two voting members].
(2) remove Klee from the committee [requires that the project leader
and the committee agree -- presumably if the remainder of us could
agree that he should go, and Wichert agrees, that would suffice].
Then 3 people would constitute a majority and that would be that.
(3) some or all of us could change our votes. [For example, if Manoj
could stomach me as committee chairman that would be the end of the
matter -- and I'd be the same chair if he agreed to drop Klee from
the committee.]
(4) Guy could vote.. [Or, for that matter, Klee could vote.]
