New IRC Council Members

[Elizabeth Krumbach]

Hi everyone,

First off, on behalf of the Community Council, thanks to everyone who
participated in voting in the first poll for the two open positions on
the IRC Council. And to the sitting Council, your patience is
appreciated as we worked through this initial poll.

The results of the poll are as follows:

1. Jussi Schultink - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JussiSchultink
(Condorcet winner: wins contests with all other choices)
2. Tied:
Ben Rubin - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BenjaminRubin  loses to Jussi
Schultink - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JussiSchultink by 29–20
Melissa Draper - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MelissaDraper  loses to Jussi
Schultink - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JussiSchultink by 37–25

Full results can be viewed here:

This tie caused us to use the instant runoff option (Condorcet-IRV):

1. Jussi Schultink - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JussiSchultink
(Condorcet winner: wins contests with all other choices)
2. Melissa Draper - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MelissaDraper  loses to
Jussi Schultink - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JussiSchultink by 37–25

So congratulations to both Jussi Schultink and Melissa Draper! Both
have now been added to the https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-irc-council
team.

And thanks to everyone who stood for spots during this election, in
particular to the incumbent Ben Rubin whose work on the IRC Council
has clearly been appreciated by the community (the Community Council).
