Hi,
Then it might just take a while for elections to take place. A vote below 30% is ridiculous; below 50%, an election should be declared void and restarted.
I don’t think the participation rate in RIPE NCC General Meetings is not exceptional for member-based not-for-profits in this sector. I’m aware of two IXPs that in the last week or two have had GMs with a turnout of 10% or less. One of those included a vote on a ground-up rewrite of the organisation’s MOU and a board election, plus the voting was open for a fortnight before the GM itself. I’m not saying this is desirable, I’m just saying it is not unusual. Rob
