I have a few questions about the admin/bureaucrat selection process if you don't mind =).

1. What more can we do to encourage as many members of our community to be involved in this process as possible, while still maintaining fairness and the desired structure of the process?

2. Is there a particular order to the selection process? Are we only considering admin candidates first, and then bureaucrats afterwards? Are we only considering one candidate at a time? Or are we allowing free-form discussion, to talk about any candidate at any point in time?

3. It looks like you've stated that only current admins are eligible for the bureaucrat position. This is most reasonable, and in normal times I completely agree with this. In this special circumstance however, I feel that the candidate field may be unfairly limited. I think that, for fairness in this special case, we should allow any admin candidate to be eligible to be nominated as a bureaucrat candidate as well--and if they are not suitable as a bureaucrat at this point in time, then that will hopefully be discovered in the selection process.
