Nevertheless, I believe to remember that we wanted to give other (nonparticipating) delegates a chance to nominate somebody else if they would have good reasons for that. Until now, this has not happened and I don't expect it. Thus: Since Andre has been nominated by many people already we might do an electronic voting about selecting him as *new* honorary member of TC6. If a delegate doesn't react before Feb. 1, 2005, then I assume that he agrees to that decision. Of course, positive votes are preferred. (See below for a voting sheet). This doesn't exclude the presentation of additional names. By the way: Louis and Tibor are honorary members since several years already.
