Say hello to the new OpenStreetMap US board: Alyssa Wright, Martijn van Exel, Alex Barth, Ian Dees and Eleanor Tutt. Congratulations!

In conjunction with Toby Murray, I, have acted as independent observer to the 2014 OpenStreetMap US board election that closed yesterday. I believe that the election was conducted honestly and transparently and that the result is as follows. The figures come from “LimeService”, the electronic survey system used for the elections.

I commend members of the current board for the effort and concern they have put in to ensuring a fair election and that as many members as possible could and did vote.

My notes

• I am satisfied that the election was properly conducted within the formal bylaws of OSM US.
• Due to technical issues, the start of the election was delayed. This was reasonably compensated by extending the close by two days.
• One voter claimed not to have received a ballot token email. This was dealt with promptly and the voter cast a ballot. I confirm that their name and email address occurs only once in the response results.
• In order to test that the initial system was working, two test votes were made by an election organiser. I have deleted these and confirmed that they are not included in the result above.
• I have not been made aware of any other issue preventing members from voting or that may affect the outcome.
