Results of the PSF Board of Directors Election and Bylaws Vote
by Ian Cordasco June 12, 2017

June 12, 2017

Hello everybody! The preliminary Board of Directors winners are: Van Lindberg Naomi Ceder Eric Holscher Jackie Kazil Paul Hildebrandt Lorena Mesa Thomas Wouters Kushal Das Marlene Mhangami Kenneth Reitz With Paola Katherine Pacheco and Trey Hunner tied for the 11th seat. Using https://github.com/python/psf-election/blob/357fa903b8ba224fd2e5207eeb42087… the tie has been broken and the 11th member Board of Directors is Trey Hunner. Ewa will contact the new directors with on-boarding information later today. This year there were 328 votes cast out of 630 potential voters. That means there was a 52% voter turnout for the election. This is the highest of any of the elections where I have served as Election Administrator. Further, in order for the Bylaws to be approved, we needed more than 51% of those who voted to approve the change. 51% of 328 is just about 168 voters and all bylaws amendments were approved by far more than that, thus they have all been approved by the membership. The results are available at: https://vote.heliosvoting.org/helios/e/PSF-2017-June-Vote Cheers, Ian Cordasco PSF Election Administrator
