Hi David, No need to justify how you ran the elections - especially since we have been doing it like this for years, if I am not mistaken. So, please consider my proposal an improvement request for the existing process.
And as I said before, I absolutely trust in the integrity of the result and I am aware that they are being carefully cross-checked by multiple people! I think we can just leverage information which is readily available in the voting tool to further improve the quality of the process we already have. If possible, I would appreciate if the results of this round of elections could already be amended with the CIVS results.

For the past two elections, I relied on precedent for setting up the poll. I realize that doing "what we did before" is not necessarily a good justification, but it's what I had to go on when I unexpectedly became the interim PM in June, 2018. Note that the election results are always verified by others before I announce them. For this year's election, I had Jim Baker and Bin Hu confirm the results. I also keep a screenshot of the results page in case there is ever any question. That being said, I think it's worth considering whether improvements can be made so that the process is more transparent.

First of all, congratulations to everyone elected. I’d like to bring up one question, though, regarding how we handle and publish the official results of those elections. Those elections are conducted using CIVS [1] to ensure a reliable and trustable process. However, the official CIVS results are not published but instead a summary of the results is announced on the mailing list. Please note that I am in no way questioning the integrity of the election results. However, I am asking if the link to the official results in CIVS can be published. I believe this would be in line with us being an open and transparent community. Moreover, other communities such as OpenStack do publish the CIVS results for various different elections (TCs, PTLs).
