This is good news, it means that the process went well.

Congratulations to all of us, voters, nominees, self appointed :), and
congratulations to the elected colleagues.

But most of all, thank you Avri. Well done!

Cheers,

Do Not Send a copy of your ballot to me - I do not wish to know how people voted.
