Congratulations to Jeremy for being elected as the new coordinator of IGC. Thanks to Fouad, Tim and Rafik for making this process more democratic and  bringing in such a wonderful pool of expertize, the diversity and their expertise must had been one of the reason to bring 138 members on the voting role.  Also, a great appriciation to Ian for this volunterism to IGC for his tenure as coordinator.

Just on a different note (differing from Craig Simon),  in the democracies that we are practicing here in South Asia, the coalition form of democracy also serves the minorities in a good way and saves from being  autocrated by the democracies of the majority. The rest of the percentages shows the richness and diversity that we have in the group and a recogniztion that they bring with them for the community.

Also, many thanks to Derrick for your continious support to the IGC in this process.

Best Regards,

Hi everyone,
As our voting coordinator, Derrick Cogburn, is traveling, I am happy to announce the results of the IGC co-coordinator election for the co-coordinator to replace outgoing co-coordinator Ian Peter.

The results are as follows, and shown in Derrick's attached graph. For the record and future reference, we are investigating further a small number of cases where the same IP address was used more than once in voting. However, there could be legitimate reasons for that (i.e. the same computer used by several colleagues). In any case, if there are irregularities these would only affect the final vote numbers for individual candidates, but not the final result of the election.

Voters who accepted the IGC charter, and participated in the process: 138 members.
Total Votes Cast for Co-coordinator: 131

Jeremy Malcolm     45
Tim McGinnis         36
Fouad Bajwa          34
Rafik Dammak        11
None of the Above    5

Total Votes Cast    131

Congratulations and great appreciation to all four candidates. I appreciate your willingness to run and to serve.

I look forward to working with Jeremy--I'm sure we will have a productive year!

Special thanks to Derrick for once again undertaking this complex task at a very busy time of year.

Best wishes for the Winter/Summer holidays,
