The organisers of the 1998 ICOA User Rep election at the Jay Miner Society today announced its results. These were as follows:

Bill Borsari58 Craig Delahoy42 Harv Laser174

No evidence of voting fraud was detected, and no complaints have been received by the election arbiters. Therefore Harv Laser is duly elected to the position of User Representative on the ICOA Steering Committee for a term of one year.

As User Rep, Harv Laser will have a full voting seat on the Steering Committee, alongside four ICOA members chosen in the current internal elections and a non-voting representative of Amiga Inc. His position is intended to combine the roles of consumer advocate, opinion- gatherer, strategist and community liaison. The whole Committee will attend selected Amiga shows and will meet face-to-face roughly every 3 months.
