Having worked with John Stephenson on the special election in July-August 2013, where John did all of the heavy lifting, and having worked with him on numerous projects requiring his abilities as sysop, I can attest to the dedication and competence of John Stephenson to serve as a Constable.

The Charter says that the Constables are appointed by the Council, so should not the word "appoint" be in the motion?
