[governance] Message to IGC Re: Coordinator election results

Sun Jan 20 05:43:48 EST 2013

Dear All,

I would like to thank both candidates for being willing to stand in the IGC
elections for Coordinator. Thank you Imran Ahmed Shah and Norbert Bollow.
It takes courage and strength to put yourself out there and stand and we in
turn are grateful. Thank you for standing!

I would also like to thank the voter turnout this year and it was really
good to see people participating. Thank you for taking the time to vote.

Special thanks goes out to Jeremy Malcolm who has continued to serve as
Technical Administrator for the IGC and for creating the Polls. Thank you
Jeremy for your energy, commitment and diligence.

Special thanks goes out to Izumi Aizu for his incredible commitment,
diligence and for the service rendered to the IGC as Coordinator. Thank you
very much.

The election of a new coordinator represents a new season in the IGC and it
means fresh insight, energy for the IGC and is an exciting time. As such,
it is with great pleasure that I formally welcome Norbert Bollow into his
role as Coordinator.

With every best wish,
Sala
