Results of the ZC/2 elections
By Jan Vermeulen, RC/28

The following message was published in the REGCON.EUR (Zone 2) area on Mon 26 June 2000 - it was also sent to all individual RCs in Z2.

Dear colleagues,

the proclamation following these words has been sent to the candidates and will also be published in REGCON.EUR, ENET.SYSOP and FIDONEWS.

I wish to thank both candidates for running in this election, and also David for his assistance as a Verification Officer.

Jan has run and lost, but there will be another opportunity in about two years.

Ward has my congratulations for winning these elections and on behalf of all those who place again their trust in him I welcome him back in the seat.

Finally, I thank those who have bothered to run their referenda and have sent in their votes; connections were not always easily established and that should be a key subject in the years to come.

The Verification Officer's confirmation follows:

I have received copies of the 16 votes cast in the ZC election from Jan Vermeulen and have made my own independent calculations. My results are as follows:

Regions who voted:

21, 23, 24, 25, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 36, 40, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50

Regions who voted for Ward Dossche:

21, 23, 24, 25, 28, 29, 30, 32, 40, 47, 48, 49, 50 Total: 13

Regions who voted for Jan N. Klug

31, 46 Total: 2

There was no content in the body of the vote received from Region 36 and so that vote cannot be included. Therefore the total number of valid votes is 15.

I confirm, therefore, that my results tally with those of Jan Vermeulen.

Verification officer
