coordinator elections. All candidates polled respectably,
indicating that they were all well-qualified nominees for the
post. However, we have a clear winner. Congratulations and
welcome to my new colleague, Izumi Aizu.<br>
<br>
There were 107 attempts to vote, of which 103 were valid
responses. The invalid responses were two respondents who
commenced the survey but did not answer compulsory questions (one
"Are you a member of the IGC" and the other, having answered that
"Yes", not answering "Have you already voted"), another respondent
who abandoned the survey before voting for a coordinator and tried
again later successfully, and one who attempted to vote for
coordinator twice.<br>
<br>
Of the 103 valid responses, 101 were from self-identified IGC
members, 95 of whom claimed not to have voted already. Four of
these remaining qualified voters did not choose to vote for a
coordinator. Of the remaining 91 votes cast, Izumi received 52.
Thanks also to Rafik who received 13 votes and Marilia who
received 26.<br>
<br>
The public statistics for the poll, and a spreadsheet with the
results of the election are both available at <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.igcaucus.org/node/38">http://www.igcaucus.org/node/38</a>.
A photo of the new coordinators is available at <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.igcaucus.org/node/17">http://www.igcaucus.org/node/17</a>.<br>
<br>
I will write separately about the charter vote and the nominations
committee.<br>
<br>
Here are some questions you may have about the results (though I
can't really call them "frequently asked"):<br>
<br>
Q: Why do the public statistics show 100 (not 103) responses?<br>
<br>
A: Because by design of the software, these statistics exclude
"incomplete" responses. Of the four respondents who did not
choose a coordinator, one just skipped that question, whereas the
others quit the survey in progress. The former's response is
included in the public statistics, and the others are not.<br>
<br>
Q. Why do the public statistics show 98 (not 101) voters asserting
membership of the IGC?<br>
<br>
A. See the answer to the previous question.<br>
<br>
Q: Why do the public statistics show 92 (not 95) persons claiming
not to have already voted?<br>
<br>
A: See the answer to the previous question.<br>
<br>
Q. Why do there appear to be some votes missing from the CSV file
(based on the consecutive numbering)?<br>
<br>
A. The missing ones at the beginning where from testing by me and
Ginger. There are a small number of missing votes where I deleted
them because the person mistakenly claimed to have voted already
(see below).<br>
<br>
Q. Why do three people appear to have voted twice?<br>
<br>
A. One of these people mistakenly answered that he had voted
already. I told him to vote again using the token sent to his
other email address. Another gave up before getting to the
coordinator vote, then started again; her first response was
treated as invalid. The third does appear to be a double vote; in
this case, the first response has been treated as invalid and the
second, more complete response taken as definitive. It is not
counted in the public statistics, but is retained in the
spreadsheet of results.<br>
<br>
Q. Why did some people say that they had already voted, when they
hadn't?<br>
<br>
A. I don't know, maybe they didn't read the question carefully
enough? Anyone who contacted me to ask for the opportunity to
re-cast their vote, was able to do so. A few, unfortunately,
didn't contact me, and missed out on the opportunity to vote...<br>
<br>
Q. How did one person vote anonymously?<br>
<br>
A. It was not really anonymous, they just didn't provide their
name. Their email address is news [at] <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://chania.di.uoa.gr">chania.di.uoa.gr</a>. Anyway,
theirs was one of the invalid responses that was not counted, as
they did not answer a compulsory question.<br>
<br>
Q. What is the difference between "No", "None" and "N/A"?<br>
<br>
A. "No" means you were asked a Yes/No question and chose the
latter. "None", for the coordinator vote, means you were
qualified to vote and chose to support none of the candidates.
"N/A" means either you were not qualified to vote, or you didn't
answer that question.<br>
