I don't like disclosing private communications but in this case I feel it's
appropriate.

The Current PTL contacted the Election officials after the nomination period
closed and was instructed to reach out to the TC and community.

Given he's the only candidate I think it's reasonable to assume he'll become
the PTL in ~3 days  :)

So cards on the table, I'm interested in taking on the role.  I didn't nominate
because I thought that might be a little complex given I'm also acting as an
election official.

Clearly[1] the TC can select a candidate, whomever that is I'm confident Stable
Maintenance will continue to build momentum.
