<p dir="ltr">Hi PSC,</p>
<p dir="ltr">I was just wondering what was the current state of community members voting. I may have missed it but are there some results somewhere? Or was the process abandoned?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Regards,<br>

</span>Thanks Tim! I think this is a good idea that will likely result in a<br>
better representation for final community members.<br>
