We did that.
<http://lists.olug.org/pipermail/olug/2005-April/016466.html>  In the
following weeks I think there was only one or two nominations.  Shortly
thereafter the west lunch location moved from China Buffet to Cici's
with only a concensus of the frequent attendees, and was noted on the
website within a month.
<http://lists.olug.org/pipermail/olug/2005-May/016576.html>  Apparently
we prefer a less formal process.  

Since a couple people had chimed in (fairly quickly) that Cici's sounded
good for downtown too, I'd assumed that's where we'd be.  My home
computer has been offline for some time, and I've only been checking
webmail occasionally, so I wasn't aware of conflicts.  I guess I didn't
figure there'd be a problem since it's only about 10 blocks farther west
than Cali Taco.

I'm open to having a formal vote process again before next month.  But
we do need to resolve what's happening tomorrow.
