I’ll second the suggestion that we should consider other options. While I know Vaniver personally and believe he would do an excellent job, I think Vaniver would agree that considering other candidates too would be a wise choice. (Narrow framing is one of the “villians” of decision making in a book on decision making he suggested to me, Decisive.) Plus, I scanned this thread and I haven’t seen Vaniver say he is okay with such a role.

I do agree; one of the reasons why I haven’t accepted yet is to give other people time to see this, think about it, and come up with other options.
(I considered setting up a way for people to anonymously suggest others, but ended up thinking that it would be difficult to find a way to make it credibly anonymous if I were the person that set it up, and username2 already exists.)
I’m concerned that we’re only voting for Vaniver because he’s well known
Also because he already is a moderator (one of a few moderators), so he already was trusted with some power, and here we just saying that it seems okay to give him more powers. And because he already did some useful things while moderating.
I’m concerned that we’re only voting for Vaniver because he’s well known, but I’ll throw in a tentative vote for him.
Who are our other options?
