IRC Council election in process

[Laura Czajkowski]

Hey Valorie, thanks for bringing this up and I've added a note to bring 
this up to the next IRC Council catch up and will follow up with the new 
council.  Do you believe there would have been a different output had 
there been other people involved in voting?

Regards,
Laura
