[governance] IGC coordinator election results

[Izumi AIZU]

Dear Jeremy and all,

Thank you so much for giving warm words with the announcement of
the outcome of our election. Special thanks to Jeremy who managed
the election in an open, fair, well-balanced way.

Thank you all who congratulated me, especially to Rafik who has the
courage to first nominate himself, and having been a good friend to him
here in Japan (and elsewhere), he clearly has the advantage of being
youth which I cannot compete ;-). To Marilia who also proved the importance
for the gender, regional and other balances.

I promise to honor these balances, of course, and act for the cause and
the principles of the entire civil society in IGF context and beyond.

The figures were NOT so clear - I mean I got just one vote more than the
majority of valid votes, Marilia is half of mine, and Rafik half of Marilia.
Therefore, I ask Rafik and Marila to bring in your expertise and reasons
I am short of to the caucus, please.

I am honored to accept the result with a strong sense of responsibility,
mindful of all corners of values, balances, rights of the citizens, voices
of the civil society for the ongoing endeavor for the IGF. As I wrote in
my statement, coming weeks and months will be crucial to secure and
strengthen the position of the civil society in the multi-stakeholder
framework with regard to the continuation of IGF, and also for the WSIS
2015.

I look forward working with Jeremy, and also with all of YOU.

Thank you again for your warm support in advance!

izumi

> I am pleased to announce the results of the 2010 IGF coordinator elections.  All candidates polled respectably, indicating that they were all well-qualified nominees for the post.  However, we have a clear winner.  Congratulations and welcome to my new colleague, Izumi Aizu.

> There were 107 attempts to vote, of which 103 were valid responses.  The invalid responses were two respondents who commenced the survey but did not answer compulsory questions (one "Are you a member of the IGC" and the other, having answered that "Yes", not answering "Have you already voted"), another respondent who abandoned the survey before voting for a coordinator and tried again later successfully, and one who attempted to vote for coordinator twice.
>
> Of the 103 valid responses, 101 were from self-identified IGC members, 95 of whom claimed not to have voted already.  Four of these remaining qualified voters did not choose to vote for a coordinator.  Of the remaining 91 votes cast, Izumi received 52.  Thanks also to Rafik who received 13 votes and Marilia who received 26.
