+1 nomination for DH, too.=20

Note, DH also ran for Chair last time we went through this. And given =
the abundance of reminders by Rich and others as to what a chair is and =
is not and given also that DH has been involved with Apache since =E2=80=A6=
? (ages)=E2=80=A6  As well as active with ODF (in numerous loci, despite =
his claims to be slightly less engaged), and also Corinthia=E2=80=A6.
