[ALAC] ccNSO Updates October - November 2018 - Results of the Council Elections for European Region

[Barrack Otieno]

Dear ALAC

The voting in the elections for the position of ccNSO council member -
European region closed last week, on Thursday, 22 November 2018 (23:59
UTC).  This is to inform you about the election results.

In accordance to the applicable rules, two candidates from the
European region were nominated, seconded and  accepted their
nomination. Consequently, an election was held among the ccNSO members
of the European Region according to the timeline previously agreed
upon by the ccNSO Council.


Election Results


Only ccNSO members from a Geographic Region are allowed to vote for
candidates to the ccNSO Council from that Geographic Region. When the
ballots were distributed, the ccNSO counted 44 members from the
European region.


Out of 44 ccNSO members from the European region, 34 members (77%)
casted their votes:

Marta Moreira Dias received 6 votes,

Nick Wenban-Smith received 28 votes.

There were no members that voted for the option “none of the above”.


Next Steps


The Election Report as prepared by the Election Manager, will be
discussed at the ccNSO Council meeting on 6 December.  As only one
candidate was nominated and seconded within the nomination period for
the African, Asia-Pacific, Latin American / Caribbean and North
American regions, no elections needed to be held in those regions.
Since at the close of nominations there are no more valid candidates
in the aforementioned geographic regions than there are seats on the
ccNSO Council available for those regions, then the nominated
candidates shall be selected to serve on the ccNSO Council.
