ANNOUNCEMENT : Results from Round 1 voting for At-Large selected Board Member for seat #15 of ICANN Board
by Heidi Ullrich Nov. 26, 2010

Nov. 26, 2010

Dear All, Please see below an important announcement from Cheryl Langdon-Orr, ALAC Chair, regarding the results from Round 1 of the vote for the Board Director selected by the At-Large community. *** Date: Fri, 26 Nov 2010 13:13:07 +1100 Subject: ANNOUNCEMENT : Results from Round 1 voting for At-Large selected Board Member for seat #15 of ICANN Board Voting for Round 1 voting for At-Large selected Board Member for seat #15 of ICANN Board, has now been completed and the poll has closed, the vote is quorate and the results show that a Round 2 vote is now required to be held. The ABSdt processes (as approved) state that, should it be required, a Round 2 will be held:"26 - 28 November: Second round of online voting." This announcement is to both release the results of Round 1 and to prepare the At-Large electorate to undertake their Round 2 vote. The percentage table results from the Round 1 vote are shown below: Names. Votes % Sébastien Bachollet 43.75 Pierre Dandjinou 25.00* Alan Greenberg 31.25 This shows that the candidate who will drop out with the lowest percentage support (number of votes), and not continue to round 2 vote is Pierre Dandjinou*. I have now instructed staff to set up a Round 2 vote on Big Pulse which will start ASAP on 26 November and run through 28 November at 23:59 UTC. The vote will be between Sebastien Bachollet and Alan Greenberg (listed in that order) . Voter options will be to select one (1) preferred candidate; All electorate members should expect to receive their voting credentials from staff and the usual announcements re the vote, within the next 12 hrs => If you do not receive your voting credential please contact staff directly. Note also that the previous 'in the event of a tie' arrangements will be in place -> good luck to both of the remaining candidates... I have also requested staff to arrange for suitable wider publication of these results and the Round 2 vote beginning through the wider At-Large and ICANN announcements mechanisms as soon as possible. Please also not I have taken the liberty of emailing the three candidates in the Round 1 vote and informing them of these results, whilst thanking all of them for their contribution and ongoing support of this important and landmark selection process, I'm sure I reflect the feelings of the community when I also specifically thank Pierre here in this message for his willingness to serve as the At-Large selected ICANN Board member, and for his active and professional participation in the campaigning processes; and that we look forward to his renewed and continuing involvement with At-Large and the ALAC's work within ICANN. Finally as soon as possible after the Round 2 vote closes (and any tie is broken by the random method previously outlined) I will inform the community of the outcome and write to the ICANN Company Secretary Mr. John Jeffrey, informing him of the At-Large selected person for seat #15 of the ICANN Board of Directors, so that they may take their role on the Board as planned at the Cartagena meeting.

If there is a tie for last position, a random selection by a method determined in advance by the ABSdt shall be used to identify the candidate to be removed. The ABSdt agreed to use the Excel Random Numbers formula in the event of a tie. Random Numbers formula allows a random number to be picked out of a given total of numbers. In the event of a tie vote, At-Large Staff would run the Excel Random Number formula in the presence of a member of ICANN¹s Legal team. In the Excel Random Numbers formula, the candidates would be given the numerical equivalent to the position of their family name in an alphabetical order (e.g. if a winner was to be determined between Sébastien Bachollet and Alan Greenberg, Sébastien would be given the numerical value 1 and Alan would be given the numerical value 2. If a winner was to be determined between Pierre Dandjinou and Alan Greenberg, Pierre would be given the numerical value 1 and Alan would be given the numerical value 2 etc.) If no candidate receives more than 50% of the votes cast, there will be a second round of voting. Should one candidate receive more than 50% of votes cast, that candidate shall be declared the winner. If there is a tie, the ABSdt agreed to use Excel Random Numbers formula to identify the winner.
