A brief closing statement is probably warranted here. I should make it clear that this was to me a borderline case and I think that the relative level of support demonstrated might well have justified a successful outcome. That said, having read the comments made both in support and opposition of this request, I do not think a sufficient consensus exists to promote Xeno based on this request. Those opposing make relevant objections which are acknowledged as having merit by those supporting and a number deliberately chose to express their support as being weak. Bearing in mind the level of trust which the community has shown it requires for bureaucrats to be appointed, I do not think a sufficient level of community support has been expressed for this request to be successful.
