by Hong Xue Nov. 29, 2010

Nov. 29, 2010

Dear Colleagues, The STV poll to guide the APRALO Chair’s vote in the At-Large Board Director selection was quorate and ended with the following result: *Sébastien Bachollet was elected in count 1. * With Sébastien having received more than 50% of first preferences in count 1, or 4 out of a total of 7 votes, it was not necessary to go to a second count. The APRALO poll ended 24 November at 1000 UTC. ALAC-RALO Chair selection vote for At-Large Director ended on 25 November at 23:59 UTC. In order not to disturb the voting process, APRALO poll result was not released until the voting process ended just now. APRALO Chair, Hong Xue, had casted her vote according to the APRALO poll result. In addition, an ALS that did not participate in the poll wrote to all Chairs, Secretariat and Staff to indicate its support for *Sébastien Bachollet. *Its opinion is also recorded. Regards Hong Xue Chair of APRALO

Hi Adam, I missed the vote deadline because I was in travel. However, the vote from our end would have also been for Sebastian so there is no issue here. We didn't do an anonymous vote what so ever. I had sent an email on the deadline date sharing this intention but could not enter the poll before the deadline ended.

APRALO Poll on At-Large Board Director Candidates
by Per Darnell Nov. 28, 2010

Nov. 28, 2010

Just for the record I would like to give voice to my frustration. On November 22 we asked to change the voting member for IUSN Foundation to myself, and not until Friday, November 26, did I get the links and login to do the poll. It was then closed! What had happened I don't know as of yet, but the frustrating thing about all this is that my vote would have changed the outcome of the poll, since I was voting for Alan Greenberg. I have sent an email asking to count my vote even if it was too late, to chairman Hong, but of course she replied that it was too late to count my vote. Knowing it is nothing to be done, I just have to get the frustration out of my system. Per Darnell President IUSN Foundation
