Well, they haven't declared it...yet.

to do so would be counter to the bit of the charter quoted below:

"As part of the voting process the voter must personally ascertain
that they are a member of the IGC based on membership criteria
described elsewhere in this charter and posted as part of the voting
information (i.e. a voter must affirm membership on the voter form in
order to vote). The decision to self-identify as a member of the IGC
is a personal decision based on the criteria defined. A list of the
self-defined member-voters will be published after the election with
the results of the election."

Follow the charter, and if a vote is taken without giving voters the
option to "affirm membership on the voter form in order to vote", then
move that the vote is invalid, as it violates the charter.

I agree it's not going to help the group move forward, but it will
help the group stick to it's previously defined rules!
