As to me, it looks more like a polite refusal than actual acceptance. In any case, we have only to wait and see now what will come out of your proposal at the end of the day. Personally, I'm very skeptical and suspicious of these poorly concealed attempts at grabbing more power across the forum, at first through such "interest checks" and then by kicking up a racket about "elections" of a new global moderator...
But maybe it is just me, after all
Global Mod just gives the mod responsibility over a larger area of the forum. It doesn't give them any extra power besides deleting/moving posts and respect. The ones with real power are the admins.

So you're opposing the fact that Lauda wants a new global mod to be the choice of the community? You'd rather it just go on silently and behind the scenes, like with Cyrus?
Yes, such matters should not be discussed publicly. When you hire somebody for a job, you don't discuss them with other employees. And no, I don't mind if Lauda wants to be a new global moderator. In fact, it is not bad overall that someone might want to become a moderator. If you ask me, I don't want, but then again, it is just me (I'm more inclined to anarchy and personal responsibility). In fact, I'm not even against Lauda as a new global moderator (or someone else, for that matter). I rather question the methods chosen to get there...
You may deem that as a reply to your assumption of some personal vendetta against her (just in case, there's none)
So let me get this straight. You believe that Lauda is just selfish and wants the power to themself?
It is not a question of belief. It is a fact that everyone is selfish and acts in his own best interests as he understands them (and in someone else's, to the degree he doesn't)
