Votetaker's Comments

The applications were pretty straightforward; there were no rejected
applicants or nominators, and no out-of-time applications or late
nominator confirmations. One application was initially automatically
rejected by the mail handling software, but the problem was fixed
and the application was then processed without issue.

I have not listed the applicants' Personal Statements in these results
as these are effectively election manifestoes, and there is to be no
election.

========================================================================
