I’m resolving this challenge as follows:
The random selections should have been done with Luigi’s affiliation listed as “Huawei”. We will be proceeding with the outcome that would have resulted from the selection being done with the correct affiliation.
That result is
65. Dirk Kutscher, University of Applied Sciences Emden/Leer
114. Ketan Jivan Talaulikar, Cisco Systems, India
127. Christopher Wood, Cloudflare
38. Xuesong Geng, Huawei
121. Rüdiger Volk, no affiliation
86. Gabriel Montenegro, Independent
18. Pablo Camarillo, Cisco Systems
58. LUIGI IANNONE, Huawei
13. Chris Bowers, Juniper Networks
94. Tony Przygienda, Juniper
Disqualified selections are noted below:
96. Reshad Rahman, Cisco (Maximum Number of 2 for Cisco reached) - 10th in randomness order
85. Tal Mizrahi, Huawei (Maximum Number of 2 for Huawei reached) - 11th in randomness order
Luigi has already expressed his willingness to serve.
I’ll be posting this update to the Announcement list.
I realize this won’t make everyone happy. I also realize there is no solution that would make everyone happy. However, this is the exact result presented by the previously advertised random selection process. There had been an offer by Luigi to step aside *iff* that would have resulted in Tal being allowed to serve. Since this would not result in Tal being allowed to serve, Luigi is not stepping aside.
Thanks to all who advised me in this decision.
Barbara
