A CFV was issued. Several people waited. And waited. The lists got
quiet while people waited. If your are the chair of the technical
committee, then you too have been ignoring your duties. Due process has
been followed and a vote was called for.
It seems that it's relatively easy for any small handful of people to be
unable (or in your case, clearly unwilling) to act according the the
constitution can kill off any resolution.
When are technical committee elections held? Or are there any? AFAIK,
the current committee was appointed. I think it's time to restructure it
a bit, in either case.
