Re: [sv-ec] clarifications on mantis 2606 vote

Mehdi, could you please state the clarification here.

I don't understand how a vote with 5 in favor, 3 opposed,
and 1 abstain could fail.

If Jamie's vote was not counted (as a proxy) then there
were still 4 in favor and only 3 opposed.  Also, if that
is the case, I am going to contest the result as I had
asked you about a proxy and you said it was Ok.  I would
have called in for that vote had a proxy not been Ok.

Gord.
