So it just 'looks' like the round is five votes to six. Glen says that later on today when the *official* result is sent out, it will be six votes each, and we will then start on the second round.

I respect the freedom for every councilor to vote as his opinion and conscience tells him, but in this case we had a clear agreement and everybody explicitly and verbally agreed with the block vote.
