Well, we could invoke the right to be forgotten, right? Problem solved. |

I think the only practical option is to try to prevent something like |
| 28 |
this from happening again, but I don't what to call in the UN to |
| 29 |
supervise the elections team either. Let's just move on... |

Re-voting doesn't seem likely to change anything and you could always |
| 32 |
debate which is the "right" outcome. That would seem like a major |
| 33 |
waste of time IMHO - as it is we won't have any substantive Council |
| 34 |
meetings in July, and if we do a re-vote there probably won't be |
| 35 |
anything serious in August either. If we try to rush a vote in a few |
| 36 |
days then there will be complaints that people didn't get a chance to |
| 37 |
vote for whatever reason. |

I don't have strong feelings one way or another, but I would encourage |
| 40 |
pragmatism... |
