[At-Large] Election of the ALAC Liaison to the IC ANN Board ofDirectors - result ?

[Izumi AIZU]

Maybe I am politically naiive, as I thought giving extension to
those who missed is not a bad idea.

However, frankly speaking, I am OK with either option - to close it now and
announce, or extend for two more votes/ or two more days. The difference
is not so big to me.

I am OK with either candidate to become the Board Liaison, as well.

It's not really the BIGGEST issue we need to face ;-).

Too much energy and emphasis on symbolic politics/game
is not what I like to see. Let's move on in a clear and
rational way, that's all I like to see. Sorry if I am insensitive.
