With nextime's absence, the LEADS would actually be four. So I suggest
adding one more LEAD so the decisional group would actually be 5.

That being said, I would like to add Ralph Ronnquist to the list of
candidates. His many years of experience and cautious approach to
problem-solving would be an asset to the mix. Since he is now involved
in setting up newtonia, he seems like a logical addition. He has
accepted the nomination.
