As a personal note I may add that I am pleased with the success of this election. We got some new members who I trust will find their way into the team and become a valuable addition. Nearly 40% of the nodelisted RC's came to vote. I appreciate some in the *C chain believe this could have been better and worry about dead wood in the ranks. They may have a point as seen from their perspective. As a FidoNet member however, I compare this with other FidoNet elections and from that point of view, I can not but conclude that voter participation was high for a FidoNet election.

I thank all the voters for taking the time and energy to vote.
