[Internal][ELECTIONS] January 2022 election results

[Vincent de Lau]

Hi all,

Yesterday we closed the January 2022 election round.

There was only one candidate for one Secretary position, so no election was held for the Secretary. Steve Winters will be replacing Buster Neece as of today 17:00 UTC.

There were 6 candidates for 4 Core Committee seats. Elections were held and we received 13 ballots, all valid. Below you will find the OpenSTV output, but in summary:

- Korvin Szanto, Chris Tankersley, and Enrico Zimue are re-elected and will continue to be CC members.

- Ken Guest is newly elected and will be part of the CC as of today 17:00 UTC

- Massimiliano Arione did not participate in the election and will no longer be a CC member as of today 17:00 UTC

We want to thank everybody and especially the candidates for participating in this election round. We would like to give Steve and Ken a warm welcome in their new roles and extends a big 'thank you' to Buster and Massimiliano for their contribution so far. We hope to see you around!

The website, permissions etcetera will be updated in the coming day.

Kind regards,

Alessandro Lai and Vincent de Lau
