---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Cheryl Langdon-Orr <langdonorr@gmail.com> Date: Thu, Nov 25, 2010 at 10:13 PM Subject: [At-Large] ANNOUNCEMENT : Results from Round 1 voting for At-Large selected Board Member for seat #15 of ICANN Board To: alac-announce@atlarge-lists.icann.org, At-Large Worldwide <at-large@atlarge-lists.icann.org> Cc: absdt <absdt@atlarge-lists.icann.org>, John Jeffrey <john.jeffrey@icann.org> 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.
