Once again, congrats for all elected members.

However, I'm very disappointed about the numbers of voters, just 10% of
the eligible voted, I think there is a problem. IMO, the election time
wasn't the problem, nor the communication on this list. I see only three
possible reasons: the electors don't feel concerned by the election
(is the FLSCo useless ?), or they don't want to vote for someone
unknown, or just few of them read the list frequently.

If somebody has some other reasons and how to resolve this issue, I'm
interested by it.
