[governance] Charter Amendment Poll

[Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro]

Dear All,

The discussions on the list have been helpful in relation to coming to our
final decision on this matter. This was not in any way an easy decision to
reach as we understand the effort put in by the proposers to initiate
charter amendment. However based on the poll results:

76 responses were submitted, though some respondents did not answer all
questions, as none of them were compulsory.

On proposal 1, 70 voted in favour, 4 against, and 2 did not vote.
On proposal 2, 62 voted in favour, 5 against, and 9 did not vote.
On proposal 3, 71 voted in favour, 2 against, and 3 did not vote.
On proposal 4, 65 voted in favour, 3 against, and 8 did not vote.

Noting that there are *127* members of the IGC, that is those who took to
the Poll in electing their preferred candidate, all proposals fall short of
the requisite 84.67% and this would be *84*.

As such all proposals have failed.

Whilst it is easy for us to reopen the poll and get people to cast the
votes (it is the easy path), there is a danger in setting a precedent not
only for future polls but even retrospectively for the last election.

On the issue of reminders, the role of the Coordinators is to merely
facilitate the process, every person on the list, member and subscriber
were sent their electronic voting papers. There was substantial discussion
on the list and it should have been sufficient for people to be aware that
there was a vote underway.

We thank you for your participation in the process and we found the
discussions and contributions made by each of you helpful.

Kind Regards,

Sala (On behalf of the coordinators)
