(Netherlands).

- Representing the Consumer Network: Godwin Aja (Nigeria).

- Representing Fields: Elizabeth (Liz) Waters (Australia) and Lorne Becker

Congratulations to the successful candidates, commiserations to the
unsuccessful ones, and many thanks for their hard work to the electoral
officers of the entities that took part in the election. Thanks also to
Louise Kitchener, who acted as my co-electoral officer and checked the
counting of the votes.
