Dear Rainbowist, at two weeks from the Agora, here come the official results of the elections in Amsterdam, together with some lines about... (Results were already available one week ago..but we let the polemics cooling down before forwarding them on this list ;-)) Enjoy your reading! Chiara Benetazzo Agora & PM matters Rainbow sub-Commissioners team [log in to unmask] ICQ 121770266 ___________________________________________________________ E L E C T I O N S Secretary of the Agora Total Votes 332 Valid Votes 332 Mensonides, Nynke 93.1% The Agora seems not missing former Secretary of the Agora Martijn Hovestad, the man who can type faster than his shadow, despite the slight decrease from the Agora in Ankara (97.1%). _________________ Audit Commission Total votes 346 Valid Votes 328 Kazanis, Georgios 68.6% Peskens, Hans 60.6% Hauslmeier, Karina 46.9% Not elected: Umerov, Rustem 42.9% Panizo, Pedro 34.8% The fresh and young Georgios jumped up the first place becoming the new president of the Audit Commission (still AEGEE-Athina can keep the control on the finances of AEGEE-Europe ;-))). Quite a low result for the former Treasurer and former President of AEGEE-Europe Karina as well as for the long-time-Audit-commissioner Hans. Actually all votes are quite low in general as it usually happens when there are more people than places ;-) _________________ Juridical Commission Total votes 333 Valid Votes 297 Karasiotou, Gina 253 votes (85,2 %) Tokarskyy, Yuriy 234 votes (78,8 %) Abstention 19 votes (6,4 %) New president of the JC is Gina Karasiotou. The results of the vote for the JC are quite impressive regarding the performance up's & down's they had in Amsterdam. shall the vote be intended as a "moral support" vote, being this Agora their official first one? :-) _________________ Network Commission Total Votes 349 Valid Votes 305 AEGEE-Bucuresti 264 (=86.5%) AEGEE-Groeningen 232 (=76.0%) AEGEE-Poznan 228 (=74.7%) Slupskyy, Sergiy 215 (=70.5%) Always good result for Netcom elections: that's the advantage of working closer to Locals... ;-) AEGEE-Bucuresti and Sergiy Slupskyy continues their work after election in Constanta one year ago. Both Central Region and WISEN region go back in the hands of locals that were Network Commissioner until one year ago (Agora Costanta) _________________ Members Commission Valid votes: 325 Vukov, Ivana 229 votes 70,5 % Rijnsent, Koen 223 votes 68,6 % Wiora, Dominika 220 votes 67,7 % Overbeek, Parcifal van 169 votes 52,0 % Not elected: Ferrara, Amadeo 124 votes 38,2 % Ivana is elected president of the MC, after 6 months membership; Koen and Dominka escaped both from finances of AEGEE to members' matters; Parcifal re-candidate for MC after failing elections in Ankara. This is the official result for the Members Commission election, announced by JC on Friday following the Agora. Actually the results announced during the Sunday evening plenary session were quite different from the one above, due to a mistype in transcription that led to a miscalculation of percentages. After a second, late at Sunday night, check, the mistake was cleared out. _________________ CD Members the only election you already had the chance to read a lot about during these day! Shall we sum up the whole with an impartial tone? ;-) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The election of CD members required a second vote, being the results of the previous voting suspicious: amongst 333 valid votes, 66 presented only one cross (around 20%) The potential cause: the fact that in the ballot paper was typed "you have 1 vote, you can make up to 1 cross" while, after the CD resignation, the places available within the CD become 6, so that delegates had the right to vote for 6 candidates (putting up to 6 cross) The case caused several misunderstandings between the delegates and the table (namely JC and Chair team) and a big chaos took over the plenary room in few minutes: main point was an "objection" mentioned by the JC that made the delegates feeling like if the "table" had the power to accept or reject the votes of the Agora. The unclear explanation given by the JC, the time-pressure that leaded to very strict short-cuts, the whole Agora complaining for such a decision, the lost power of the Chair to control the situation, the big mess of people hanging around the room seeking for more information led to a big chaos and an accusation of "defeat of democracy" towards AEGEE with the outcome you saw on mailing lists... ;-) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The results of the previous voting were shown only after the closure of the second voting, in order not to influence the previous decision of the delegates and in order to test if such a high percentage of 1cross ballot paper were only due to a lack of trust in the CD candidates or to a real misunderstanding in the voting procedures Here following the results: CANDIDATE 2nd and official result 1st voting result Diana Filip 79.3% 79.9% Lipiec, Krzysztof 75.5% 74.5% Magkou, Matina 74.5% 67.6% Gumus, Hakan 72.3% 59.?% Chudzik, Malgorzata 52.5% 52.6% Albayrak, Dijan 44.3% 36.9% Not elected Mantika, Marcella 29.9% 24.9% The re-elected members of the CD will keep their original task, a part from Dijan that switched from FR to European Institutions. The new entries: Diana will do FR and Malgorzata (Megi for friends) will do PR. The second voting didn't changed that much in the results, proofing that most of the delegate stuck to their first vote, while few other probably changed opinion and used all the votes they were likely to use. The new votes caused only very slight changes in personal results without affecting the position of any candidates. _________________ Secretary of AEGEE-Europe Total Votes 341 Valid Votes 339 Ritala, Susanna 93.5% Congratulation to the new elected blonde former(?) president of AEGEE-Helsinki! Susanna got famous during Agora in Ankara for the HUG-coupons from AEGEE-Helsinki. The coupons entitle any possessor to get an hug for free from any person to which the coupon is exhibited: she already promised to give an open credit to all CD members to get hugs from her. Feeling lonely? Dial +32-2-245 23 00 and ask for Susanna. :-) ________________ Treaurer of AEGEE-Europe Total Votes 342 Valid Votes 342 de Beer, Mark 97.1% Top score! Clearly the best and most successful candidate presentation! What can a candidate for treasurer tell? Well, he made great jokes about his name! And his "vote for beer" badges were one of the most sought gadgets during the whole Agora! Will he be able to stick to the strict budget Dominika drafted and the Agora approved??? :-) _________________ President of AEGEE-Europe Total Votes 347 Valid Votes 347 Helbin, Tomek 96.3% Again a record the needs no comment!!! The former PR responsible of AEGEE-Europe candidate for president and score high! Even higher than the votes received for his candidature as PR resp in the CD in Ankara (79.0%) Will Megi (new PR responsible) be able to write similar inspired telegrams? At least we will finally get some telegram gossip about Tomek himself ;-))) _________________ That's all. Congratulations to all elected candidates!!!
