Anyone know what's happening with Direct Members representatives from 1 August?

I received an e-mail on 12 June inviting nominations for the posts. It said that if elections were needed the voting period would commence on 8 July. I've heard nothing since, so I assume elections are not needed and the questions now are whether any posts have been filled, and, if so, by whom, and whether there are any vacancies.

I received the following on 2 July. Circulation seems to have been limited to Bronze members like myself. There are two more days before the new deadline of 12 July (the attachment said that the original deadline for nominations was Sunday 23 June).

"Dear ECF member
I am writing to advise you that there is still a vacancy for one of the positions to represent Bronze members at the ECF's Council meetings. The original notice was circulated in June.
If you are interested in representing your fellow Bronze members in this category please apply by close of play on 12th July to the Chair of Council, English Chess Federation Email: [email protected]
I attach the original notice for your information.
Regards
David Eustace
Chair of Council"

The new Direct Members representatives should have taken up their posts yesterday. I've heard nothing telling me who, if anyone, has been appointed. Does anyone know what's happened?

I received (some sort of) message about this yesterday. I looked on the website just now and the Bronze reps are listed as JC Le Saux and Tina Teotia. I believe these are the two who were mentioned in the message.

The new representatives are listed on the officers' page: https://www.englishchess.org.uk/about/ecf-officials/

As Mike Gunn points out, there is a statement about the election of the Bronze members' representatives: https://www.englishchess.org.uk/dmr-ele ... bers-reps/

As someone who bothered to vote and in the interests of transparency, I would have expected the votes cast to have been stated.

I did thought that the ECF Would Announce the Direct members members in one post.

I will be interested to see how the Gold members will work together as i know when Tim wall and me was together as Silver Rep, we had differect views but i hope he will worked with Gavin and Julian a lot better then he worked with me
