Re: Preliminary Results - GNOME Foundation Board of Directors Elections 2016

[Tobias Mueller <muelli cryptobitch de>]

Hi.

I've realised that the bylaws mandate the elections to be carried out by the rules listed on 
<http://foundation.gnome.org/electionrules.html> (cf.  
<https://people.gnome.org/~tobiasmue/bylaws2012/bylaws.html#election-and-term-of-office-of-directors>).

Now this has not been the case.  At least not with the way I read the bylaws.

I wouldn't necessarily want to "challenge" the result, but I think there should be some (not overly creative) 
explanation of how to fit the execution of the election to the bylaws.
Can we come up with one?

Cheers,
  Tobi
