Fwd: NCPH Election for BOARD SEAT 14: second round of voting results

[Nicolas Adam]

This is more than disappointing, and i refrain from using stronger 
words, but not easily. I don't even know who the 6 voting members of 
NCSG were, but i know who Mr. Graham is .... and i can assure you he 
never stroke me as having  special affinity for non-commercial 
interests, however one understands them. He is a capable man, don't get 
me wrong, just not one that will think non-commercial first. Nor distant 
second, i would be inclined to think.

I don't know if i'm at ease with forcing any voting person to explain 
their turnabout (i don't have a clear picture of the 
representational/legitimacy scheme at play here) but i will find it very 
hard not to find this disgraceful absent explanations.

Absent explanations I will also find it hard not to presume -- as people 
in these sort of things usually have a clear understanding of who's 
going to vote for who -- that the two changes were not planned 
beforehand. I mean to say that absent explanations i will be tempted to 
believe that the first vote was merely a ploy directed at people like me 
(moderately in the know) to obscure the true leaning of some voters.

Now i am merely vetting shamelessly my own emotional deficiencies. It is 
up to you -- whoever you are --to put my presumptions to rest or not.

Sincerely,

Nicolas
