Frank,

I have no problem at all with section 2.4.  In ALL of my comments,
unless I clearly stated otherwise, I was refering on the to the
IMMEDIATELY previous section.  If I had been refering to both 2.4 and
2.5, I would have said the "above sections" with an "s" on the end of
section.  In fact, I specifically propose a change to 2.5 and that the
result be combined into 2.4.  Other than that, I don't propose any
change in or make any comments on 2.4

Here is the relevant part of my message before you edited out 2.5:

I don't think the above section is needed at all.  At most, something
saying "The nominating committee shall recommend at least one name for
each position." should do and probably could be combined into 2.4.
Seems like it should just be up to the nominating committee how many
names they come up with.
