If Tuesday it's important that it be before 1600 ET since that is the close of nominations and the beginning of voting
Same here: is there anywhere information on what the candidates stand for? Example: while I have no doubt about Nikolay's chess knowledge, the position he applies for requires more than just that. I would like to know what qualifies him for it before making up my mind.

I am pleased to accept the nomination. I served as VP in 2001-2. The position of VP is one of the most undefined and the most important. The VP must be prepared to assist the President on any areas delegated to him/her. Now that we have met the NFP conditions, I believe one area that I can be of asistance is in shepherding the process of converting our previous handbook resolutions into a new suitable format. We need to decide what meets our new reality. During my 5 years in student politics, I spent a considerable amount of time working on bylaws and policies and would be pleased to bring this skill to position of VP. I first served as a Governor about 30 years ago and have been a governor for most of the last 20. I have been an advocate of executive transparency with Governors and would continue to advocate for this as VP. I have criticized the executive when I felt they deserved criticism and I have praised them when I believed they deserved praisde. It would be a privilege to serve as your Vice-President in 2014-5.
Ken. I'm sure you'll make a great VP. There is still work to do on the by-laws, and Vlad's time needs to be put to other uses (IMHO).
