<p dir="auto">It would be helpful for candidates to provide some words as to why they think they ought to be a co-chair, what new ideas, or improvements they might bring, and so on.</p>
<p dir="auto">We will publish the list of volunteers, along with anything the volunteers include with their nomination, to this mailing list on Wednesday 10th November 2021. Discussion and support (or opposition) for each candidate can then be offered on the list.</p>
