Looks like the only options left that don't have votes are 3 and 11, which suit me just fine for now.

With a little more than 2 hours to the deadline, I have twelve votes: Bourne, Embler, Madnick, Fein, Keating, Shefler, Lodge, Widdis, Naylor, Cunningham, McGill, E Mallach. Please re-send if I’ve missed you. In the hope of getting a few more, I’m going to extend the deadline by 3 hours to 3PM US Eastern Time or the equivalent.
