Thanks a lot to you Marina and all the MC for conducting the elections

Thanks to the MC as well !

It must be said, though - for next time, I want to see candidates put under more pressure to present their case - as some of them tend to shy away from the public.

Also - the MC should also put up on our wiki:

• Calendars/timetables of terms of different office holders, so it is possible to examine the history of who-was-what-when
• Detailed election results (with the rounds, and tallies and everything) for past elections.
