Thanks to Paul for starting the process and to Lorenzo for a great slate 
of nominations (I was going to do exactly that until I read your email).

I would like to propose that we add your name (Lorenzo) to the list of 
nominations, since you have made very significant contributions.

I would also like to turn down my nomination and propose Julien-Samuel 
Lacroix instead, he's a little more quiet than me but nowadays he knows 
ka-Map better than I do and works on it more than myself. But don't 
worry, I'll still be around with my critical comments.  :)
