Dear IDPF Members,
Voting closed to fill two open IDPF Board of Director positions
on 2400 EST, Wednesday, January 10th. There were 91 members eligible
for voting and an established quorum of 46 members. 63 members
voted. The vote used the Alternative Voting procedure to choose from
a sub-set of alternatives as defined by the IDPF Policies &
Procedures Section 2.4.1. There were seven candidates for the two
positions. Each FOR choice received one point and the candidates
with the most points won. In this election, there was a tie for the
second Board seat. In the event of a tie, for the choices with the
least meaningful points, a run off will be held for the choices
using Alternative Voting. The results of the candidates in question
are the following:
George Kerscher, DAISY Consortium - 30 Votes
Peter Brantley, University of California Press - 24 Votes
Malle Vallik, Harlequin Enterprises, Ltd. - 24 Votes
George Kerscher of the DAISY Consortium was elected to the Board
of Directors.
A run off election will now be held between Peter Brantley,

Enterprises, Ltd. The election will begin immediately and end 2400
EST on Friday, January 19th. Nomination statements from the
