As indicated in the mass email from the General Secretary calling for an Expression of Interest for new Commissions by means of electronic voting (sent on 5 November), and in the previous Announcement giving the first results (as of 25 November), we are now presenting the intermediate results of the vote.

The total number of members having participated in the voting as of 18 December is 1777.

As in the previous Announcement, the histograms present the results sorted by Division. Proposed Commissions may appear in more than one Division, if the proposers have requested Cross-Division status. Only the Primary Division has been taken into account for the Inter-Division status.

Details can be found in the Letters of Intent and the list of proposals.

The deadline for the Expression of Interest is 31 December 2014.

The final results will be announced in early January, 2015.
