Shazad and all,<br>
I would like to reinforce Parminder's point here. Two years ago, I was very
reluctant to run for co-coordinator. Parminder and Ian assured me that it was a
'doable' task and were very supportive when I asked for more information. I
found that the overlapping/laddered 2-year</span> term allows an excellent
'breaking in' period, and that the IGC members are far more flexible and
supportive than we have the image of being.<br>
<br>
I thought that as IGC co-coordinator I would be 'giving'... instead I found
that I learned and received far more than I gave, and that the position was a
valuable opportunity more than a difficult task. When I thanked everyone on the
list at the end of my term, I was not being politically correct. I indeed found
it to be an enriching and valuable experience. <br>
<br>
Shahzad, I think you were being appreciative of IGC co-coordinators in general,
but it is good clarify this point, and to encourage more people who, as
Parminder notes<span style='font-family:"DejaVu Serif","serif"'>, may be
discouraged from running because of this perception.</span><br>
<br>
Best wishes to all,<br>
Ginger<br>

If one is interested in the political route to social change (and I think that
is one of the, if not the, most important route to real structural change) ,
this is about the easiest training one can get for it :)<br>

<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am pleased to announce the results of the 2010 IGF
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 href="http://www.igcaucus.org/node/38">http://www.igcaucus.org/node/38</a>.
A photo of the new coordinators is available at <a
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 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.<o:p></o:p></p>
