The Central Committee will meet mid-November and vote for the first NS President. Sea Urchin is the only candidate though will still need a majority of the Central Committee to be elected (if he shouldn't get the required votes then the election would be voided and would be re-run - though this is highly unlikely).
NS Commander Knobhead said that the rest of 2117 after the election would be a transitional period and all command decisions would be taken in conjunction with the President who would then officially take over on January 1st 2118.
