I just sent a second request for a paper, and sure enough got a ballot
paper within a minute.

I decided in the end to vote no, as the argument in the CFV was rather
exclusive and his comment about 'monitoring discussion' didn't exactly
strike a good note. I think he should have asked the opinions of urg
before going over everyone's heads to unnc in the first place, and
actually participated in the group. I am happy chatting about my
lottie in urg.
