The result of the election has finished early due to all members completing their votes prior to the deadline.
The result is a tie with equal votes going to both Tierney and Rachel. After consulting with both of the candidates along with the Individual Directors, it was determined that a healthy solution to this tie would be co-chairs of the role.
If no one objects, Tierney and Rachel will be our new co-chairs!
We will then move forward with onboarding and refining what the shared role and communication would need to look like in implementation to ensure a smooth execution of duties.

Great. I'd love to see this evolve to be 2 discrete roles with a chair and a board representative. Mirroring the TSC's structure.
I also encourage the CommComm to plan for this in the future and structure a standard tie-breaking process. The coin flip process we used for Gold Directors feels a bit too arbitrary. (This is coming from the _winner_ of the last one.) Strong consensus is hard. We should be encouraging those amongst us who wish to lead to build the robust coalition necessary to serve as an effective representative.

I'm going to close since the election is over, please re-open if that's not the right thing to do.
