Table 2 Breakdown of valid ballots by eligibility groups. Note that the total ballots in this table is greater than the number of ballots cast, due to voters often belonging to more than one eligibility group. Categories of eligibility groups include those set out in Provision 8 of Division III of the Code (DIV III), among which are the International Mycological Association (IMA) and societies that are a Member Mycological Organization of the IMA (IMA MMO); along with four additional groups approved by the Fungal Nomenclature Bureau (FNB). Totals do not include incorrect assignments by voters to the eligibility groups ‘Authors of proposals’ and ‘International Commission on the Taxonomy of Fungi.’
