DC isn't a state, so the whole issue of elections doesn't come up. Organizationally, it is the "nation's county", so to speak. So, I would expect that the AB or NC assumes a role similar to that of state coordinators when a CC resigns - DC goes up for adoption. If Deb Remer doesn't want the job, then I suggest asking her if she would announce the vacancy on the DC email list that she runs. Most county adoptions are handled on a first volunteered, first offered basis. It is rare to have a more extended process. Tends to only happen if two people volunteer for the same county almost simultaneously, and don't want to work as a team. And then the SC usually has free rein to pick whoever they want (procedures may vary from state to state.)

Might be good to ask Rose if she'd do this for whoever wants the job, as a formality. There are always people who will insist that DCGenWeb should be considered a "state project" under the By-Laws, even though it isn't a state. // Teri
