There were four items to be voted on at the RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM) May 2021 - three resolutions and the RIPE NCC Executive Board election.
1,681 members registered to vote, and 1,469 members cast their ballots. Not all 1,469 members cast their ballots on all items to be voted on.
Resolutions 1, 2, and 3 needed more than 50% of Yes votes or No votes to be either approved or rejected. Abstentions were noted but did not count towards the overall results.
In the election, there were two seats to be filled. A candidate needed more than 50% of votes to be elected to the board. If no candidate received more than 50%, the candidate with the fewest first preference votes was eliminated from the count and their next preference votes transferred to the other candidates. This process was repeated until one of the candidates had more than 50% of the votes. The same system applied for both seats, with the candidate who won the first seat excluded from the count for the second seat.
The vote count for the resolutions and the election are recorded below.
The original report from BigPulse is also available.
All those who voted received an email receipt allowing them to verify that their vote was recorded correctly. To verify your vote, you will need to use your browser's search engine to find your receipt. There are fewer voting receipts than total votes because some voters represented more than one member and carried the voting rights for these members.
The RIPE NCC and its Executive Board would like to thank all those who participated in the voting process. If you have questions about the process, please contact the GM organisers.
