Provisional election Results

[Nicolas Adam]

And to add to all your concerns (and on a lighter note),

please note that if "NPOC leadership" is successful in getting the right 
for the same external (legal) representative to represent many 
member-orgs in NCSG, the balance of power would fall squarely into *my* 
hands:

Debbie's 24 votes + Amber's 44 votes + the 32 already sympathizing,  
gives ME the balance of power.

Food for thought ;)

"//What are we/ going to do tomorrow night?
  The same thing /we/ do every night, we /try to take over the world/!/"


Nicolas,

PS. I believe I could find many, many persons willing to have me 
represent them in NCSG. AND they would answer their emails and confirm 
that I am still their chosen representative at random intervals and at a 
moment's notice without flinching. You can see that this is past 
ridiculous and going nowhere fast.  ....
