Hi All,
With the election behind us it's somewhat traditional to look at
some simple stats from the elections:
+----------+-----------------------+-------------------+-----------------------+

I don't have a feel for with the Pike electorate decreased but my gut
feel is that it was organic drop-off possibly in part to the shorter
Ocata development cycle. The Queens drop-off was due to a new[1]
membership API being available that meant we could validate Foundation
membership instead of using gerrit permission as a proxy.
I'd like to call out that with Pike we had a very dramatic decrease in
voter turnout both in absolute and relative terms. As a community it's
worth trying to understand whether this is a problem and/or a trend that
needs to change.
Yours Tony.
