1)
My vote of january 24th is missing.

And yes, I have checked that
- the vote was sent in the voting period
- the subject line was exactly "be.markt"
- the From: field unambiguously contained my name and e-mail address
- the To: field was stim@tornado.be, the vote takers' e-mail address
- the body of the mail was containing one of the proposed single words,
  exactly spelled as proposed, and nothing else
- the mail transfer agent logs show that the e-mail was sent, and received 
  by the end system of the vote taker:

2)

The elimination of be.forsale follows no existing procedure.
Using the rules for a newgroups creation is an abuse.

3)

The RFD and the CFV have only been done in Dutch, while it was proposed
that a multi-lingual group with a charter in English, be.forsale, was
suppressed.  This made non-Dutch speaking participants unable or objectively
refrained from participating, and consequently does not correspond to 
the fairness necessary for a democratic vote.

4)

As, in the CFV, the creation a the proposed new "be.markt" group has always
been tightly bound to the suppression of the "be.forsale" group, the votes in 
favor cannot be interpreted as solely in favor of the creation of a new group
named "be.markt", should "be.forsale" be not suppressed.

5) 

The following voters are not identified:

This mail must be understood as an early objection to the irregular
procedure of Mr. Ivo De Broeck.
