Before this gets any further, the email Frans is referring to was sent 
to the board. It was a long email and the line he is referring was after 
my patience reading email expired (note, in my case, the email was 
received during travel and I was reading email fast).

Florian, Graeme, and myself met at FOSDEM to make a decision on the TSC 
situation. We had 5 strong candidates who had publically shown interest. 
The meeting location was outside a building, without access to a 
computer, so we could not review Frans' email. We already had one too 
many candidates and needed to make a decision so we did.

Thanks,

Philip
