All,

the final summary on RUNNet-AAI voting (while the vote ended on Friday
27th April I didn’t send this out).

The summary so far is:
 * 43 votes cast
 * 31 in the affirmative / 11 abstain
 *   1 mystery unnamed/excluded voter — was never identified.
 *   8 federations (WAYF, DFN-AAI, GRNET-AAI, eduId.hu
<http://eduId.hu>, Edugate, GakuNin, Oman KID and YETKIM) regain their
voting right.
 *   5 federations (CAFe, COLFIRE, PIONIER.Id, ArnesAAI and AAIEduMk)
would remain on the excluded list.
 *   5 federations (AFIRE, eduID Lux, LEAF, RCTSaai and SIR) join the
excluded list.
 * 46 federations on the active voting list (+8 regain -5 excluded +1 new)

…and the https://wiki.geant.org/display/eduGAIN/eduGAIN+Votes page has
been updated to reflect the current status.
