Thanks, I've copied & pasted it to the thread on maemo-community which caused this.

There was confusion all around on this and obviously a need for the next council to address the holes.
Was there really confusion? Apart from the initial confusion of Robin caused by Dave's email (something Dave's apologised for), the process seems spot on. There was a bit of confusion about "nomination" being the wrong noun, but - on reflection - I remember why it was worded like that, and it covers the situation we were in: if a person's nomination is invalid, they can't be a candidate (because their nomination never existed).

Of course, if people can suggest improved language, I'm sure the next Council can consider whether or not it's worth the time and energy to pursue a referendum for a circumstance that has occurred once in five elections.
