[governance] Results of charter amendment vote

[Ian Peter]

As co coordinators we have pleasure in declaring the  proposed charter
amendment adopted. A total of 96 members voted, with over 90% in favour of
the amendment (87 votes for, 9 against). As the number of positive votes
also exceeded the required 2/3 of members of IGC for amending the charter,
we have no hesitation in declaring the motion carried.

A full report on the decision is attached. It contains a description of the
process followed and some recommendations and suggestions to clarify various
matters which emerged during the process.

The decision is now open to appeal for 72 hours.

Our thanks again to Dr Derrick Cogburn for his assistance and expert
involvement in conducting this ballot. Also to those who proposed this
amendment, and to everyone who voted and helped to make this worthwhile
change possible.

Ian Peter and Ginger Paque, Co coordinators
