Maybe someone from the exec committee can explain what (if anything)
was wrong with the text as here:<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Last week EC seemed to quickly
resolve the Appeal on the election process, that
challenged the interpretation of NOTA votes. As far as
I remember, those who signed the appeal were told that
they would get a timely response from the EC which
would seal this deal. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>Â </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, up to now I have not seen
anything coming from the EC on the list on this
matter. I checked the public archives, and I see that
EC is still debating how to word it's compromise. It
worries me a bit because world is moving on and we're
going ahead with this election. When I read the emails
on the public NCSG EC thread, I really wonder what's
going on and whether EC is trying to, pardon me for
the lame pun attempt, to compromise the compromise.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">As far as I understand, yesterday

<p class="MsoNormal">I know that it's weekend, but since
I see that EC has been debating the things today, may
I kindly ask anyone from the EC update us on what is
actually happing with the EC response to the appeal? I
believe those who signed the appeal didn't submit it
with the intent to wait till the end of elections,
when it will be too late.<o:p></o:p></p>
