Don't know that I have time to stand again this year, maybe 1 day we'll get an independent on the board!

While I think someone from Acorn should stand again this year...The problem is it’s a one seat year.

Therefore if you consider @monaghan got 223,698 last year with two seats:

You are going to need double that this year...

To win in a one seat year you need to do as well as Kelly 530,175 (2017) or Volker 955,849 (2016):

And an encumbant with the backing of lots of large registrars/registries.
Not impossible to "unseat" but would mean it needing to be a 2/3 horse race.

I'm not standing this year, but expect to next year.

Apologies for the newbie question, but who has the votes?
I see reference to bye-laws but cant see how the votes are calculated.

Thanks!

So you need to canvas about 300 independent registrar voters to win.

Is there a mistake in that document with nearly all of the votes going to:
1&1 Ionos SE 2,138,386 votes?

You'll need 1 more (on a cascading STV basis) votes than 2nd place

With an expectation of appx 1million votes to win, yes it's be possible with roughly 300 smaller registrars - which is more than are likely to vote in total

That's not nearly all, if you scroll through there are many registrars with more. GoDaddy etc. (of course)

Anyone made it into a s/sheet for 2019's votes ?
I've been onsite at the DC most days, so not been at my desktop to make my own yet.
