<div dir="ltr"><div class="yiv1700481483MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Calls for expressions
of interest or nominations were made on the IGC mailing list in June, 2013.By
December 31<sup>st</sup>, 2013 both positions were vacant. During the calls for
election, we had received the following nominations:</span></div>
<div class="yiv1700481483MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv1700481483MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">1) Deirdre Williams</span></div>
<div class="yiv1700481483MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">2) Imran Ahmed Shah</span></div>
<div class="yiv1700481483MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">3) Mawaki Chango</span></div>
<div class="yiv1700481483MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">4) Mwendwa Kivuva</span></div>

<div class="yiv1700481483MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Prior to holding the
elections, Mwendwa Kivuva withdrew leaving only three remaining candidates.
Prior to hosting the elections and preparing ballot papers, we had to verify
and check our subscriber database to ensure that things were in order prior to
sending the ballot papers. There were some subscribers who had moved and so had
inactive email accounts. We had to clean these as well. We also noted that
there were some who were subscribe to the mailing list but did not have IGC
accounts by registering on the site. We received feedback from some of the
subscribers that they did not get ballot papers. The estimated number of
subscribers to the mailing list is around 600. The estimated number of account
holders who are both subscribed to the mailing list and have IGC accounts is
around 400. The number of people who voted was 276. During the elections, we
received “Out of Office” responses from a few.</span></div>

elections and from feedback from the community, this year we introduced the
abstention category allowing people to not select a candidate. To all those who
exercised their right to vote or to abstain, thank you. Special thanks to ALL the
amazing candidates who participated. Special thanks to Imran Ahmed Shah for his
continuous commitment to make a difference in his community in Pakistan and
also in global forums.</span></div><div class="yiv1700481483MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br clear="none"></span></div><div class="yiv1700481483MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> Congratulations to Deirdre Williams who will serve the
two year term replacing me. Congratulations to Mawaki Chango who will serve the
one year term replacing Norbert Bollow. I am pleased to <b>formally hand over</b> and now declare the elections closed. To the new coordinators, I wish you wisdom, good energy, strength as you navigate the waters ahead. </span></div>
