So Ian's stepped down, and Steve has four votes, with three people not
(yet) voting.  Which either means we have a winner already, or will when
voting closes.

In favour: Steve, Ian, Anthony; no votes against -- so that's enough to pass
when voting closes.

In favour: Steve, Anthony; Against: Ian -- currently that will pass, though
won't be particularly binding.

Looks like we'll have an alternate mechanism from the incoming chair,
so I'll change my vote to against, which gives us three against, none
in favour.
