[Foundation-l] [Election] Unqualified votes striking

[Jan-Bart de Vreede]

Hi Gregory.

Thanks for your remarks:

 >edit count criteria was misapplied and nothing has been changed from
 > the official election rules?

Yep

Just to make sure everyone understands..

The rules have NOT changed AT ALL...

It is only the editcount rule (400 edits) which was accidentally applied at 201 the first time the list of possible voters was given to SPI. As you can see in the earlier announcement, this has now been corrected to reflect the official rules.

I would also like to point out that the members of the election 
committee are currently spending a LOT of time on these elections and 
that the foundation really appreciates all their hard work :)

PS: And also to repeat: NO ONE within the foundation (including members 
of the board/advisory board) has access to the key needed to look at the 
election results...
