Yes I do remember this: Bjoern then withdrew his request.. meanwhile, Ross,
myself, Bob, and Mark disagreed with Bjoern, and felt Bjoern should not be able
to change his vote.

This was at a time when Michiel was the chair of the FTSC, not at the time
before Michiel took the seat, which is what Ross and I, and some others have
been discussing with you here this week, where the last vote cast is the vote
that was counted.

I also remember during the incident that you refer to above, that Michiel
himself said:

If it was good enough to go with with the constituency in November, 2010, it
should be good enough to go with now.

No one is asking for people to be able to vote more than once.  What people are
asking for is a return to methods of casting ballots from pre-Michiel, where
the last vote cast is the one that is counted.

Take care,
Janis
