The reason for asking explitly for nominees now is that I could not find
anything like a 'deadline' or some other discriminatory element in the
past postings. It would be unfair to simply 'close' the nomination list at
some arbitrary point in time which was not pre-announced clearly ahead of
time as part of a timeline.

Should there be a better/easier way to do this for future elections - it
may make sense to edit the file pmc-email-ballot-example.txt in the
foundation/Ballots cvs repository with suggestions.

Also note that the STATUS file needs someone with CVS access to update it.
A potential chair nominee/canidate may not have such access or something
may be dropped by accident by those acting as a gate to the STATUS file.
