We are happy to inform you about the outcomes of the YSI Community Report Committee elections. The elections were competitive with a number of candidates within a few votes from each other. 158 members voted. Congratulations to Melissa Vergara Fernandez (49 votes) and Danilo Spinola (47 votes). They will join Asgeir Torfason, Maria Schweinberger and Marcos Reis to form the committee. We are grateful to all candidates for running in this election.

The committee will start its work immediately and present its report at the next YSI plenary in 2018.
