So, this topic has been open for a while now, and I realise it's a bit 
awkward for you to declare this yourself Bernhard, so I felt inclined =)
And now that we have one last vote from one of our most integral (and 
most genuinely missed) members, I think we can safely declare Bernhard 
our new Design Team Lead.
Here's the tally;

FOR:
---------------------------
1. Luca CAPPELLETTI
2. Phil JACKSON
3. Vamsi KODALI
4. Klaus-jürgen WEGHORN
5. Charles-H. SCHULZ
6. Christoph NOACK
7. Scott PLEDGER
8. Tobias BERNARD
9. Nikash SINGH
10. Daniel MERKER
11. Kevin PEIGNOT
12. Mirek MAZEL
13. Ivan MISKOVIC

AGAINST;
---------------------------
0. No objections

I'll update the Design team wiki page in the coming days to reflect this 
decision so that new members don't explicitly need to be told.

And just a clarification: no one assumes you should have to do any more 
work on the lists or elsewhere as a result of this nomination.
Your hours are limited and we understand that fully. There is also no 
expectation that you will no longer contribute Designs to remain impartial.
In cases where you do contribute a Design to the activity, a vote will 
decide the final Design.

=)

Hooray for Meritocracy!
-Nik
