Results of the election of the ILAE Executive Committee for the Quadriennium 2009-2013

The Notary office completed the evaluation of the results of the second phase of the ILAE EC elections on Monday, May 4, 2009. The results read as follows:

EUROPE
Baulac--45
Covanis--40
Guekht--22
Kalviainen--19
Perucca--117
Trinka--4

LATIN AMERICA
Cavalheiro--37

ASIA OCEANIA

NORTH AMERICA

The four persons with the largest number of votes were:
Samuel Wiebe    (North America) 118 votes
Emilio Perucca    (Europe)            117 votes
Tatsuya Tanaka (Asia Oceania)     74 votes
Michel Baulac      (Europe)             45 votes

Since these four candidates fulfill the requirement of representing at least three ILAE regions they are automaticaly elected as ILAE EC members. In consultation with the elected ILAE President, Solomon (Nico) Moshe, the following appointments to specific positions have been decided:

Secretary-General:         Sam Wiebe
Treasurer:                      Emilio Perucca
First Vice President:       Tatsuya Tanaka
Second Vice President:  Michel Baulac

We warmly congratulate the elected members and wish them well for their work for the ILAE.  We also would like to thank all the candidates for their willingness to participate in the elections.  We hope that they will continue to contribute to the life of the ILAE as in the past.

According to the ILAE Constitution, "In the event that after the global elections....any fully operational region of the ILAE (as determined by the Executive Committee) is not present on the Executive Committee, the Chapters of this region shall elect an additional Vice President".  Therefore in agreement with the ILAE EC a supplementary election phase for an additional vice-president from Latin America was conducted. The results, as of June 11, 2009 are as follows:

Marco Tulio Medina  (Honduras)  8 votes
Esper Cavalheiro  (Brazil)            6 votes
Ballots sent without votes          2 (no vote)

We warmly congratulate Marco Tulio Medina as the new ILAE Vice President and wish him well for his work for the ILAE.  We also would like to thank Esper Cavalheiro for his willingness to participate in the election.

With this accomplishment the duty of the election committee is completed. I thank Natalio Fejerman, Yoshi Mayanagi, Roger Porter and Simon Shorvon for their very valuable support and help during the election process.
