[Arria Perreault]

I would like to thank the poeple who has voted for me. I congratulate the other members of the 15th RA for their election. I am sure that we will make a great work together. I congratulate also our Chancellor, Tor Karlsvalt, and I wish to him and to his team good luck for this second term.
I have also a thought for the candidates who were not elected. They have worked hard for the community during the last term (and before of course). I hope they will continue their efforts. I would like to thank the 14th RA and especially the LRA, Lilith Ivory.
Last but not least, thank to the SC for the organization of the election and the quick publication of the results. Thank you to John Seattle for the voting system.

I hope that the 15th RA will meet already next sunday. We have to make our oath, to elect an LRA and start our work.

Can the Executive Team take care of the organization of the Inaugural Ball ?

[Sonja Strom]

Thank you to everyone who supported me!

[Rosie Gray]

I look forward to working on the RA with the others elected; thanks everyone who voted for me! Congratulations to Tor as well, continuing as our Chancellor.

[Trebor Warcliffe]

I'd like to thank all the citizens who chose to exercise their right to participate in our democracy by showing up at the polls. I would also like to specifically thank my supporters. Even though I haven't been elected to represent my citizens on the 15th. Representative Assembly I still plan on dedicating the time and efforts I have become known for. I'm hoping for a more flexible scheduling of RA meetings this term that would allow more citizens the opportunity to attend. If elected to the RA I had some ideas I was going to present to my fellow citizens. I've chosen to continue with this presentation, the difference being as a citizen and not an elected member of the RA. I encourage all to read my latest posting in the Land Committee Meeting thread and to contribute your thoughts, ideas, and opinions. See you in-world and on the forums.

[Gwyneth Llewelyn]

Congratulations to all newly elected members of the RA! May this term be the best one so far, thanks to your willingness to serve!

[Guillaume Mistwalker]

Congratulations to the winners!

[FernLeissa]

Congratulations to everyone elected to serve in the 15th RA and congratulations to Tor on his re-election as Chancellor.

Thank you to my supporters and to everyone who participated in this election process.

I'm looking forward to the new term. I'm obviously hopeful that we will finish up the process of re-writing the Covenants I'm looking forward to our accomplishing other important CDS issues as well, so I hope we have a productive term.

To everyone who worked so hard to make Floraila a success... thank you.
