If we go over the correspondence on the chapter delegates list than the 
majority of the postings were supporting your candidature. So this 
announcment comes to me as a shock, especially that the only reason 
given is that there were other qualified candidates. I personally, have 
no doubts about your extremely high qualifications, so I don't think 
that the higher qualifications of other candidates were the only reason 
to ignore a clear and widely known signal of Chapter's wishes.

With this e-mail I kindly ask Margaret to explain the reason, why  the 
high qualification of other candidates were valued higher then the voice 
of majority of chapters.

With best regards,
Jacek Gajewski
