Nominations closed on Monday and all of those nominated have now either accepted or declined. In all cases, there remains only one candidate for each of the Officer and Liaison positions. I am not quite clear on whether the results are now "official" or if some specific process must be followed, but it would appear that all nominated and accepted candidates will be elected by acclamation. Hoping I have not ignored some due process, I therefore congratulate Cheryl, Sébastien and Carlton on their elections as Chair, Vice-chair and Rapporteur as well as Patrick, James and Rudi as SSAC, IDN and ccNCS Liaisons. I do note that the position of NCUC/MCSG/User-House Liaison received no nominations, but that is reasonable given that we will be having the discussion in Seoul on exactly who we will be liaising with.
