Without a new vote I will oppose these motions.
I am going to propose an Olympiad playing wildcard for Matthew Turner for services to CS (i.e. he plays once).
If the vote is lost he is a good candidate for non-playing captain in 2016. The 2018 Olympiad is in Georgia so Jonathan Grant might be a good captain then. If these places are taken then possibly I have had my turn for a while.
Is there any possibility you might step down from your role as ID this year Andy in view of your rather shocking lack of professionalism/communication skills/candour (for want of a better word) and for the problems/unease you caused during the Olympiad selection process?
I had hoped that one or 2 excellent candidates for the ID role would step up to the plate this year but for various reasons they were unable to. This shouldn't mean that we accept an extremely poor candidate for the post.
