Les,

While I endorse the end result, I don't really approve of the process. My reading of the above comments suggests many other members feel a bit uncomfortable about the latest process.

While all the nomination processes todate have been flawed to some extent, I believe this one has generated more unease than usual.

As a side point, it is my personal opinion that jpols, Richard, Bryce & kdyer all are deserving members who would make excellant moderators. Would you have approved if I mailed Henri to make them moderators without any real inpute from current moderators or members.

In the future, I believe there should a process for selecting moderators that allows real input by at a minimum the full pool of current moderators.

PS: I believe that the process that MCA was trying to initiate would have generated exactly the same result as what finally happened. Yes, it would have taken a week or two longer but it would have generated less unease.
