Dear Eberhard, Thank you for your email. My response and your email as included below is being sent in copy to the ccNSO Council mailing list. The corrected ballots have been sent to the ccNSO membership on Tuesday, 14 January. As mentioned earlier, voting based on the revised and corrected ballots starts Wednesday, 15 January 2020 (00:01 UTC) and closes on Friday, 31 January 2020 (23:59 UTC). These dates and times are correctly reflected in the voting system, which has the following settings: Voting Period Dates: Start: 2020-01-15 | 00:01 UTC End: 2020-01-31 | 23:59 UTC This means that incoming votes as of 15 January 2020 (00:01 UTC) will be counted. Voting ends 31 January 2020 (23:59 UTC). Early or late submissions are not taken into consideration.

Click on the URL in the ballot email. You end up on an "Error" page because the election doesn't open until tomorrow. Mark and delete everything in the URL beginning with & and you get the "Cast Your Vote" page. I have taken a screen shot, which I shall send you as separate email (off the lists)... I renew my objections against the ballot, amplified by the fact that the ballot is not secure. Please acknowledge receipt hereof by return email and bring this to the attention of Council. greetings, el On 13/01/2020 15:23, Joke Braeken wrote: > Dear Eberhard, > > Thank you for your email.
