In principle, well written and suitable for the purpose.
A couple of very minor stylistic changes are recommended
by me. I hope they are helpful.

Proposed wording:
"The Names Council presents the results of its recent election for

Reasoning: We had an election. (and hard work it was too <smile>).
The proposed wording shows that we had an election.
At the same time noting Joe's statement that we /didn't/ have an
'election',
just a 'selection'.
We shouldn't apologise for 'electing'. That is democracy.

Proposed wording:
"The DNSO Names Council confirms that IT CONSIDERS the elections to
have been fair;
that votes for all candidates were correctly counted, and the results
thereby
correctly reflect the votes cast for each candidate."
This statement is the considered opinion of the Names Council and should
be labelled as such.
The fairness or otherwise of elections is always a matter of opinion to
some degree or other. We should state that this is our opinion (assuming
it is, which I am pretty certain it is!).
> the NC, and represents a different geographic region.
Proposed wording:
"has the citizenship of a different geographic region."
The ICANN bylaws are silent on representation, only
on citizenship.
Hope this helps.
