>> The Articles of Association  (bylaws) are clear about the need for majority. Furthermore, I don't think that voting for None Of The Above equals abstaining. Whether one votes for NOTE or leaves a blank or spoilt ballot one does participate and must be counted as such in the total.
>> IMO, since the (first round of) voting in Lisbon was inconclusive, we now need to have a second round by e-mail between the two candidates who received the most votes in the first round (Oksana and Julia, since NOTE was not a candidate)

>> Regarding the question whether the Wednesday’s voting result under Agenda point B 9 b complied with respective Bylaws prescriptions (as some Board members assumed), please see and verify Bylaws article
>> 
>> 11.20 For all elections in the General Assembly, candidates shall require an absolute majority of votes of the participating members. If no candidate receives an absolute majority a run-off election shall take place between the two candidates with the greatest number of votes.
>> (I think it’s the one Rudi referred to)
>> 
>> And as noted before, the number of votes of the participating members (incl. proxy votes) was 28.
>> 
>> It’s now on the members listed tonight (Yrjö, Oliver, Olivier, Jordi and Stefan) to interpret this and related prescriptions and to communicate their conclusions until Friday, 14:00 local Lisbon time – incl. whether further steps need to be taken. Thanks for your advice!
>> 
>> I will forward you the list / summary of the EURALO thematic priorities, as discussed and defined under Agenda point C 11 at our Wednesday’s GA, by tomorrow.
