Dear All,<br><br>I would like to thank both candidates for being willing to stand in the IGC elections for Coordinator. Thank you Imran Ahmed Shah and Norbert Bollow. It takes courage and strength to put yourself out there and stand and we in turn are grateful. Thank you for standing!<br>
<br>I would also like to thank the voter turnout this year and it was really good to see people participating. Thank you for taking the time to vote.<br><br>Special thanks goes out to Jeremy Malcolm who has continued to serve as Technical Administrator for the IGC and for creating the Polls. Thank you Jeremy for your energy, commitment and diligence.<br>
<br>Special thanks goes out to Izumi Aizu for his incredible commitment, diligence and for the service rendered to the IGC as Coordinator. Thank you very much.<br><br>The election of a new coordinator represents a new season in the IGC and it means fresh insight, energy for the IGC and is an exciting time. As such, it is with great pleasure that I formally welcome Norbert Bollow into his role as Coordinator. <br>
<br>With every best wish,<br>Sala<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jan 19, 2013 at 12:42 PM, Jeremy Malcolm <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jeremy@ciroap.org" target="_blank">jeremy@ciroap.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

One of them self-identified as not being a member of the Internet Governance Caucus, and one of them bailed out when asked that question. This leaves 127 people who self-identified. Of those, six people claimed that they had already voted in this year's election, so they were not offered the opportunity to vote again. Of the remaining 121, 106 took that opportunity.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Both candidates polled well. In the end, Imran Ahmed Shah came second with 45 votes in his favour.

I will post the full details to our website as soon as I get an opportunity, and with Sala and Izumi's position will brief Norbert on the technical aspects of his new role. I will also update the list of voters on our website, and will consult with Sala about that.</div>
