[NCUC-DISCUSS] ELECTION RESULTS

[PeterGreen]

Dear NCUCers,
As we are approaching the end of the year 2014, I would like to express my gratitute to everyone in this list, to those who stand in this great election, to those who votes for me , especially to Ed who nominates me. Thank you all. 
I would not see it as "win", rather I see it as "trust", your trust in me. Thanks everybody for casting your trust for me.
For me, this is the best election I have ever experienced. You award me a complete term. There is nothing I can do than to, together with our EC members, serve you all. Your advice and any suggestion is of priority for me to catch and respond to.
Looking forward to working with our new EC team: Bill, Stefania, Grace, Roy and João. (Thanks Bill for forwarding my Statement of Candidacy to the List when I experienced a mail problem)
Looking forward to working with all of NCUCers in the coming 2015.
Thank you.
Best RegardsPeter Green （Zuan Zhang, 张钻）
(p.s. As I have indicated in my Statement of Candidacy, I am Chinese. My Chinese name is Zuan Zhang (written in Pinyin, the corrsponding Chinese characters are  张钻, for those unfamiliar, please ignore these details). What I seek is an internationalized vision, to communicate with anyone who would like to, so I name myself Peter Green, a completely real English name. You may call me Peter or Zuan, any will be okay, if you would like, thanks for your attention!)

Subject: [NCUC-DISCUSS] ELECTION RESULTS

Hello 
I have just received the results of the election for the 2015 NCUC Exec. Committee, which are as follows:
Chair1:190 votes   []  William Drake
2: 31 votes    []  Abstain
                
Executive Committee – Europe
 3:189 votes   [] Stefania Milan
 4: 26 votes    [] Abstain
                
Executive Committee – Africa
 5:107 votes   [] Grace Githaiga
 6: 41 votes    [] Hago Dafalla
 7: 32 votes    [] Lorin Ekpe
 8: 39 votes    [] Abstain
                
Executive Committee – Asia and the Pacific
 9: 34 votes    [] Imran Ahmed Shah
10: 82 votes   [] Peter Green (aka Zuan Zhang, 张 钻)
11: 75 votes   [] Walid Al-Saqaf
12: 34 votes   [] Abstain
                
Executive Committee – North America
13:180 votes   [] Roy Balleste
14: 38 votes    [] Abstain
                
Executive Committee – Latin America
15:179 votes   [] João Carlos R. Caribé
16: 37 votes    [] Abstain
                                
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: 
5:107 votes   [] Grace Githaiga =101 (-6)
6: 41 votes    [] Hago Dafalla =37 (-4)
7: 32 votes    [] Lorin Ekpe  =27 (-5)
 
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”.
So, 
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.  
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.
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.
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.
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).  
 Best
Bill
