It is not easy for anyone to run for the TS President office; needs 
world-wide exposure & networking , membership in right "not officially" 
connected organizations and must have progressed in each of them. (Even to 
run for the office of TSA, fine tuned legally valid hurdles have been 
developed over the past several decades.) Has anyone recently heard of 
anyone considering running for TS International President from any country 
around the world? How often have you seen anyone running against current 
office holder? It is tradition to hold on to the job until Lords of Karma 
decide to take them out of incarnation. Olcott, Besant, Arundale, Sri Ram, 
Coats, all died in office. Only Jinarajadasa decided not to run for 
re-election just before he died.
