<div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div>Here is my report of the 2012 coordinator elections, as outgoing coordinator and returning officer.</div><div><br></div><div>99 valid votes were cast. Of these 14 (13.33%) were for Songitu Ekpe, 26 (24.76%) for Asif Kabani, 8 (7.62%) for Imran Ahmed Shah, and 51 (48.57%) for Salanieta Tamanikaiwaimaro. I declare Sala as the next coordinator of the IGC. Congratulations! Many thanks also to the three runners-up, who are encouraged to re-apply next year.</div>
<div><br></div><div>6 people began completing the ballot, but indicated that they had already voted in the election or did not respond to that question, so they were not given the opportunity to vote and did not do so.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In addition, there were 13 informal votes, from those who verified their eligibility to vote and were given the opportunity to do so, did not avail of that opportunity. This probably reflects the preference expressed by a couple of people to me off-list for there to be a "none of the above" option. The charter is silent about this, but because it defines membership for the purposes of charter amendment as only including those who voted in the last election, I did not feel that a "none of the above" option was unambiguously constitutional. I was probably also influenced in this by my experience of other electoral systems, which do not allow for a "none of the above" option.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In future if we want to allow people to vote for "none of the above", in my view we should include this in the charter explicitly. I will put this on the table during the charter review process that I have volunteered to coordinate now that I have ended my term. My personal opinion is that such an amendment would be a bad idea, because it lessens the responsibility on all of us during the pre-election period to ensure that there is a slate of candidates at least one of whom everyone would be happy with. (To avoid misunderstanding, I am not imputing to those who voted informally this year that they were unhappy with all of the candidates who stood.) But what do you think?</div>
<div><br></div><div>The list of voting members will be updated on our website soon, probably within the next 48 hours. Izumi and I will also be briefing Sala on her new role.</div><br><div>
