Thank you Mawaki for all your good work. You have raised important points
that members should deliberate on. Congratulations Analia. Thanks Arsene
and Uddin for offering yourselves to serve.

4) None of the nominees = 1 (0.52%)


It seems the "None of the nominees" vote is not very popular with ICG
members anyway.

Total number of tokens generated and invitations sent = 488
> Total number of valid votes (survey completed) = 163


Can the results be termed as voter apathy? 163 votes is about 33% turnout
and we should aim for at least 50%. Are there any lessons learned on why
there were many spoiled/uncompleted ballots?

Regards
