RE: [atlarge-discuss] OUTCOME Of VOTE



As one of the watchdogs, I endorse the results.  ICANNATLARGE.ORG was the
winner

|
|
|
|  Jeff Williams has brought it to my attention that a final report on our
|  vote was posted by Walter Schmidt to the At Large Discuss list
|  on September
|  25.
|
|  Walter reports that "ICANNATLARGE.ORG" was the top vote-getter as our
|  organization's name (see below.)
|
|  Unless the vote watchdogs voice an objection in the next 24
|  hours, I will
|  move that the Panel accept this as the official vote outcome.
|
|  My apologies for not noting this earlier, and my thanks to Jeff for
|  pointing out this message.
|
|  Sincerely,
|  Hans
