Nerd Olympic Board
As many of you will know, we have decided to form an executive committee to decide the nature, content and venue of the Nerd Olympics, known as the Nerd Olympic Board, or NOB for short.
What we haven't discussed yet is a leader and forgive me if I am speaking out of turn, but I would like to nominate Marc as the head of this board. Would other nerd members please indicate if you think Marc is a NOB-head as well.
| Marc should be the NOB-head | Marc should not be the NOB-head |
|---|---|
| Marc | |
| Abi | |
| Neil (Marc is a natural) | |
| Lee |
