Dear all,

I read Manil's write up and I think regardless of whether you approve of
it or not, it is clearly written.
However, I found one minor point that is contradictory and should be
corrected.

Section 5 on Election describes the process very clearly. According to
this, Vote of Confirmation I is needed only when there is (i) only one
candidate or (ii) neither of the two candidates gets a majority. Vote of
Confirmation II is always required.

However, Section 7 on Vote of Confirmation II, states that "They will vote
on whether they approve a candidate who has satisfied other requirements
through a Vote of Confirmation I". I suggest rewording as follows: "They
will vote on whether they approve a candidate who has satisfied other
requirements as described in Section 5."

Thanks,
Muruhan
