Committee, which are as follows:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class="">Chair</b></div><div class="">1:190 votes [] William Drake<br class="">2: 31 votes [] Abstain<br class=""> <br class=""><b class="">Executive Committee – Europe</b><br class=""> 3:189 votes [] Stefania Milan<br class=""> 4: 26 votes [] Abstain<br class=""> <br class=""><b class="">Executive Committee – Africa</b><br class=""> 5:107 votes [] Grace Githaiga<br class=""> 6: 41 votes [] Hago Dafalla<br class=""> 7: 32 votes [] Lorin Ekpe<br class=""> 8: 39 votes [] Abstain<br class=""> <br class=""><b class="">Executive Committee – Asia and the Pacific</b><br class=""> 9: 34 votes [] Imran Ahmed Shah<br class="">10: 82 votes [] Peter Green (aka Zuan Zhang, 张 钻)<br class="">11: 75 votes [] Walid Al-Saqaf<br class="">12: 34 votes [] Abstain<br class=""> <br class=""><b class="">Executive Committee – North America</b><br class="">13:180 votes [] Roy Balleste<br class="">14: 38 votes [] Abstain<br class=""> <br class=""><b class="">Executive Committee – Latin America</b><br class="">15:179 votes [] João Carlos R. Caribé<br class="">16: 37 votes [] Abstain<br class=""> <br class="">There was a problem with the Africa vote, because some ballots were incorrectly filled in, in that people voted for more than one person. Each of these ballots have the weight of one, so if one were to subtract them from the score, the corrected count would be: </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">5:107 votes [] Grace Githaiga =101 (-6)<br class="">6: 41 votes [] Hago Dafalla =37 (-4)<br class="">7: 32 votes [] Lorin Ekpe =27 (-5)<br class=""> <br class="">This does not in any way affect the outcome of the result, Grace Githaiga still obtains the highest number of votes, for purposes of precision the latter set of numbers are “official”.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">So, </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">a. Many thanks to all those who voted. Even when there’s no competition for particular slots, it is still very important to have a good turn-out as support for NCUC and its democratic process. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">b. Many thanks to all those who stood for election, your willingness to throw your hats in the ring was really appreciated, and in the competitive cases voters had tough choices to make between excellent candidates.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">c. Many thanks also to those who managed the administration of the election and the data base— especially Tapani, and from the staff Maryam and Glen.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">d. Congratulations to Stefania, Grace, Peter, Roy, and João, I look forward to working with you in the coming year. Maryam is in the process of adding the newbies to the EC mail list.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">e. Once we get the new EC in place, our first order of business will be to make a decision on applications for the NCUC travel support program for Singapore (again, applications due Wednesday). <br class=""> </div>Best<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Bill</div><div class=""><br class=""><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">
