<p>Dear Jody,</p>
<p>sorry for m late response, I took some days out. Sorry to say,
but I have really no idea. I think it was not the time-frame in
general, as we had nearly the same dates last year and we had a
low voting response on the LoI's also.<br>
</p>
<p>From my point of view it was also definitively not a lack of
information, as I sent around several emails and also reminded the
voters several times. Others might me correct here - of course I
think that my own information policy was correct ;-). But in the
end the dates have been clear right from the beginning of the
whole process - with the exception, that we extended the period
for one week, but I also informed everybody on that and there was
also some discussion on this topic - so, just watching the
mailing-list should be enough to get that information.<br>
</p>
<p>I sent out personal emails to the non-voters, but I did it today,
so no reactions to expect yet. Just to make it open: Out of 15
voting members, we had 9 votes, 5 non-voters plus Vasile, who of
course did not vote. As said, I contacted each member, that did
not vote and asked for reasons. I also pleased the members, that
also did not vote on the LoI to review their membership and
eventually to step back if they can't guarantee to vote for the
next rfp. <br>
</p>
<p>For the upcoming weeks I want to do several things, that
hopefully improve and ease our work, I also put the item "new
members" on my agenda. I also want to setup the time schedule for
the 2020-rfp early this year.<br>
</p>
<p>So far (and happy new year!)</p>
<p>Till<br>
</p>

the conference committee has voted. We have a clear quorum

So, as chair of the conference committee, I propose to
