A reader points me to this link [icann.org] in which all is revealed:The results of the first round of voting for the ICANN Board seat # 14 are:
Rita Rodin 12 votes
Philip Sheppard 11 votes
Michael Geist 4 votes
21 Ballots received and a total of 27 votes cast.
The second round of voting will proceed as set out in the Election
procedure:
http://gnso.icann.org/elections/election-procedure s-01jun06.htm [icann.org]
Rita Rodin and Philip Sheppard will appear on the ballot in the second
round.
Michael Geist is eliminated because he received the lowest non-zero number
of votes.
The timelines are as follows for the second round of voting:
June 15, 18:00 UTC - Second-round ballot distributed by secretariat June 21,
15:00 UTC - All ballots from second round must be returned to secretariat
June 21, 18:00 UTC - Secretariat announces results of second-round ballot
One candidate must receive a majority of the total number of votes (14) that
all members of the GNSO may cast to be the winner.
