Colleagues:<br>
<br>
We have reached the point where we have agreement on 1 chair plus
two vice chairs.<br>
<br>
We have the following volunteers for the positions:<br>
<pre wrap="">Wolf-Ulrich Knoben
Patrik Fälström
Mohamed El Bashir
Keith Davidson
Alissa Cooper
</pre>
Please cast three specific votes - one for the chair and one for
each vice chair. Please make sure to designate the chair vote. We
will tabulate the results. <br>
<br>
The votes may be made to the list (preferably) or may be made
directly to me (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:joseph.alhadeff@oracle.com">joseph.alhadeff@oracle.com</a>). Please place ICG
Officer Vote in the subject line so it will be easier to track.
Since this process has been underway for quite some time, I am
asking that votes be cast by August 18th 23:59 UTC time so that we
can announce the results on our call. Whatever the results, I
suggest that, as acting chair, Alissa chair the call on the 19th.<br>
<br>
Finally, I would remind everyone of the discussions related to
diversity, both organizational and geographic and would ask people
to keep those important elements in mind when voting. As we
finalize the consensus process I will finalize edits to the officer
responsibilities document, just to make sure that the description is
as accurate and complete as possible.<br>
<br>
<br>
Best regards-<br>
<br>
Joe<br>
<br>
<br>
Please note that<br>

<div>I’m not sure that I understand your question, but the process
is as I outlined in my mail next week: after 23:59 UTC, we will
have the final list of volunteers and Joe will run a selection

believe the overwhelming majority of the group
supports 1+2, and that the minority objections to it
pertained to regional/citizenship diversity. I
thought that these concerns had been met by the
withdrawal of K. Drazek as a candidate and the
understanding that the +2 would be from different
regions.<br>
