This is very disappointing. It means that two NCSG Council members switched their votes from Avri to Graham, despite the overwhelming support for Avri within this Stakeholder Group. I have trouble understanding how that could happen. Could those who made this switch please explain why they voted that way ?

The second  round of voting for the NCPH election for the ICANN Board Seat 14  closed on Friday, 6 May, 2011 at 23:59 UTC.
As per the election procedures, the candidate receiving at least 8 votes wins.  The candidates have been notified of the results.

Attached please find the detailed results  for the second round.

Please check the results and let me know if you have any questions.
