Norman,

I find the tone of your posting very terse, and a fail to see what you
are trying to achieve.

If you felt unhappy with the mechanism in place to find our new
representative; then why did you not raise a complaint previously, when
something could have been done to resolve it.

I would hardly call the discussion that took place an argument.  It was
a discussion..  This was essential, as in Ubuntu-UK's history we have
never had an elected Leader/Point of contact.  If you can find an
organisation that has >267 members and doesn't have an electoral (fair)
way of forming leadership, then I will be impressed. 

I feel it was essential that the results of the 'Poll' were
communicated.  Alan, who was successfully in winning the 'Poll' should
be the person to announce this IMO.

Alan followed the CoC quite happily, as he discussed (with me) whether
he should be the one to announce it - and it's content.  If you feel the
"Subject:"; was inappropriate blame me.

It was your choice not to vote.. Infact, maybe you could have exercised
your protest better by voting "None of the above".

On a happier note, I would like to say "Well Done" to Alan.  It was
close; but he came on top.  He has my full support and I think he will
bring experience and enthusiasm to this title.

I would like to thank the 19 people who voted for me; it's a shame I
cannot know who you are, as I'd like to thank you all individually.

Lets keep Ubunu-UK rockin'!

Kind Regards,
Dave Walker
