We strongly encourage everyone to look at the detailed results to verify their ballot. You can also run the software used to count the results to verify that these preliminary results are valid.

These results can be challenged by sending an e-mail to
elections@gnome.org. The challenges have to be sent before Friday, December 19, 2003, 23:59 UTC. Please note that these results should not be considered final until any such challenges have been resolved.

[*] Per the Foundation's charter, no more than 40% of the board directors may share a corporate affiliation. There is 11 directors, so this means that no more than 4 directors may share a corporate affiliation. Michael is the fifth-leading vote-getter from Novell Inc., and is thus ineligible to be elected.
