To all OPENMPEers Just to add my 2 cents worth. I think you all are focusing on the elections numbers too much. We should really be discussing the issues at hand with HP. Isn't that what we are charged to do?? Lets get down to business and move on already.

With all the discussion about being under the NDA with HP, then refusing to release the vote count (which won't change who was elected) seems like more attempts at hiding something from the members of OpenMPE. Isn't that the impression that the new board will try to AVOID? Refusal to share the voting numbers only fosters the feelings of being kept in the dark. Whether or not there is a precedence in sharing the vote, maybe this can set new precedence of OPENESS with the "Open"MPE group?
