Re: [ga] vote appeal


Eric,
repeated for the Nth time:

- there were NO rule changes made during the process.
   A lot of noise was made about whether or not we needed rule changes;
   it turned out we did not need them.
- the 10 endorsement thing was a result of the Names Council NOT changing
   the rules from last year, and was never a part of the GA process.
   You seem to be unable to grasp the fact that there were TWO processes
   here, running at the same time: The GA process and the NC process.
- your reading of the GA election process is wrong; there has never been
   a requirement for a "whole other subsequent election for Alternate Chair".

Your charges stem from your own inadequate reading of what has been put
before you.

         Harald Alvestrand, EX-alternate chair of the DNSO General Assembly
