During the time frame available for the moderator election only one candidate
stepped forward:
 
   Janis Kracht
 
The posted election rules state the following:
 
*****************************************************************************
If there is no candidate on 2018.12.01 23:59 UTC, the election terminates
without a vote and the existing moderator is confirmed as the moderator for
the next term of two years.
 
If there is only one candidate, the election terminates without a vote and
that person is confirmed as the moderator for the two year term.
*****************************************************************************
 
As there is only 1 candidate within the prescribed time-frame there will be no
voting.
 
As soon as Vote Verifier Ben Ritchey can certify this result Janis Kracht can
assume her position of Moderator.
 
Here ends my mandate, I hand it back to the sysop-participants of this echo.
