Heh. I even read the constitution before I replied, and clearly totally
missed that.

Right. I don't particularly like that the vote has to be public,
(primarily because it might appear to have the CTTE casting aspersions
on someone) but since that's what the constitution says, we should
follow it scrupulously.
I'm OK with voting on the entire slate of nominees who were willing to
serve, even if that means that some might be ranked below FD, but I
would accept nominees telling the CTTE to do otherwise.
