[NCUC-EC] announcing ICANN63 travel slot?

Wed Aug 29 18:05:57 CEST 2018

First of all - I voted. I voted for Shahul and Dina. Second a "mention" is
not a vote.

Right now, Shahul has five votes, Dina has one, and Ben has zero. There is
no way this tally can be used to justify the result you just announced. You
can either give the EC one last chance to weigh in, or you can award the
second slot to Dina, but you have no authority to allocate the slots as you
have. I would suggest you write to the list immediately explaining that the
last email was a mistake.
