Subject: [UA-discuss] UASG Vice-Chair Election results<br />
<br />
The UASG Election for Vice-Chair has closed and the results independently<br />
tallied and agreed by two people.<br />
<br />
In total, there were 60 votes - about 25% of the potential.<br />
<br />
Those elected (in alphabetical order) thus become:<br />
<br />
Edmon Chung<br />
Rich Merdinger<br />
Mark Svancarek<br />
<br />
Congratulations to them all. And I look forward to continued involvement<br />
from all the candidates.<br />
<br />
Don<br />
