[governance] Re: 2008 IGC Co-Coordinator Election Ballot

[Ian Peter]

And further clarification - my updates from Derrick are on total number of
votes cast, not votes cast for any candidate. So no-one knows the result or
the progressive candidate tallies at this stage.

I can see how Asif Kabani's message could be wrongly interpreted, and stress
that this is one of the candidates asking you to vote for him, not some
premature declaration of the election result.
