I am in favor of Phil's recommendation.  I hope others will weigh in so
that we can work with the proposal from Nico and her colleagues.  Thanks!

> Secretary shall be elected annually by the membership of the CPN for a
> one-year term and shall take office on 1 September. The Chairperson and
> Secretary may serve for up to three consecutive one-year terms, and shall
> not be eligible to serve again in the same office until one year has
> elapsed since completing the third consecutive term."  We are a couple of
> months late in electing the officers, but there was no business brought to
> the CPN until Nico contacted us two weeks ago.
