A call for nominations was sent to the list on 11 January 2016, to remain open until 31stJanuary 2016, 23.59 UTC. Several reminders were sent.
Nominations were received from:
- Akinremi Peter Taiwo
- Arsene Tungali
- Carlos Vera Quintana
As we attempted to set up the election process we ran into serious difficulties with the software that had been used previously. We appealed for assistance but no one was in a position to help. In these circumstances Analia devised an alternative procedure.
The link to a ballot was sent out to list members on 20th February 2016, stipulating that the poll would close on 29 February (23:59 UTC)
Again several reminders were sent.
A link to the list of members who voted can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IO9QkH26lGSq5ZR00vVG2kg_edb57D945S_gCUEZeOY/edit?usp=sharing
A careful check was carried out to ensure that each voting member only voted once and that each vote was accompanied by the affirmation of membership stipulated by the Charter.
107 votes were cast of which 99 were valid.
- 36 votes for Arsene Tungali
