That was my reaction also.  Perhaps my thoughts were in a little more
colorful language.  Such a nomination reflects one of two things -- a
severe lack of qualified candidates willing to be nominated, or desire
to keep close control of the organization.  Since there was a fuss
about the nominations last year I would say that the whole operation
of the nominating committee this year reflects bad judgement.  The
board should have listened to Kolstad.
