The candidates who won the election are Patricio Lorente and Frieda Brioschi, and therefore the movement affiliates recommend the Board appoints them. There were 27 votes cast by movement affiliates,  and the results at each stage of the count (under the STV system) were  as follows. STEP 1 Votes: Sums: Patricio Lorente (15.50); Alice Wiegand (5.50); Frieda Brioschi(5.00); Anders Wennersten (1.00) Patricio wins. STEP 2 Votes:   Sums: Frieda (8.73); Alice (6.74); Anders (1.53)   Anders loses. STEP 3 Votes: Sums: Frieda (9.26); Alice (7.74) Alice loses. STEP 4 Votes: Sums: Frieda (17.00) Frieda wins. The 0.5 votes in the first round occur because some affiliates put two candidates as 1st preference: this was treated as a half-vote for each candidate. The election result was counted independently by two of the facilitators, one using a script and the other using pen-and-paper, to verify one anothers' results. Do let us know if you have any further questions regarding the process. I would like to thank all the candidates and everyone who participated in the selection process, and particularly Alice Wiegand for her two years of service on the WMF Board. Regards, Chris on behalf of James Hare, Lorenzo Losa and Chris Keating, election facilitators _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
