Was there a numeric tally posted. The pessimist in me would like to
know the relative dissatisfaction of the membership with the above
candidates and resolution.

I do not believe that I have ever seen an official posting of the actual
voter counts in any DECUS election.  I also do not believe that there is
a provision to provide one.

In the past the numbers have been given to the candidates, announced at the 
open Board meeting at Symposia, and published in the Q1 issue of DECUScope.

In chatting with one the candidates the numbers were approx...

	Total Ballots = 8000

	1. 4600 votes\
	2. 4400 votes  \
	3. 4100 votes  /------ Don't think your vote counts? (It does)
	4. 4000 votes/
	5. 3000 votes
	6. 2000 votes

These numbers are unofficial and 2nd hand. In the last election there was about 
10,000 ballots.

In response to his query (see below), I have not yet seen the official
FULL tally (who got how many votes, how many votes other candidates got,
bylaws tally, etc). Typically this is released at the Spring Symposium
in a few weeks.

In a "typical" year about 20% of the membership opts to vote; in our
case about 8,000-10,000 ballots. The percentage is similar to the
recently completed USENIX elections. This year, DECUS did not include
return postage , so that may have some effect.

When the full tallies are official, they will get posted...
