No, I'm sure it's not; he doesn't want to be seen to favouring you in any way. I'm going to ask Ottava to withdraw this FAC nomination, and start another. You're one of three nominators; if two of them request withdrawal then you're outvoted, and your faith in the FAC process remains untarnished. As for the faith that Ottava and I might have in the process, well, that's a different story.
