[NCUC-DISCUSS] Support for Tatiana Tropina for EC

Wed Nov 23 06:55:30 CET 2016

HI all.

After reading this thread I'm putting +1 @Bill arguments.
Anyway, in term of term of teamwork my heart balanced +1 @Wisdom choices.
Finally my ballot would said. ;-)

But I have an 'ignorant' question : is SUBSTAIN = NOTA in this élection ?

Warm regards from Lomé, Togo (West Africa).
Your,
Olévié
