Interesting Vandenberg not running. His term is up, no? Did he just have enough? Can't blame him, if so.
Looking at the eligibility criteria:
(i) has a registered account and has had at least 150 mainspace edits by 1 November 2011.
(ii) meets the Wikimedia Foundation's criteria for access to non-public data or confirms in their election statement they will fully comply with the criteria.[note]
(iii) has disclosed any alternate accounts in their election statements (legitimate accounts which have been declared to the Arbitration Committee prior to the close of nominations need not be publicly disclosed).
I see nothing in there about a nominee being in "good standing", i.e. not currently indef blocked. I also see nothing in there about someone being nominated by someone else. I believe both Greg and Peter fulfill
these criteria (though Greg might run afoul of ii) if he wants to keep his current accounts active). You guys should go for it. Horsey too.
