The biggest news in the past month is the conclave, and the selection of a new chief. There were, in total, thirteen nominees for the position, and three members who actively pursued the role.
The first vote was cast on may fifteenth, Ravania began in the lead with 50% of the votes.
The second round of voting occured on May 16th, only two candidates remained sharing the votes
The third round was on May 21st. Ravania pulled ahead with 62.9% of the vote, 12,1 % short of what many thought to be impossible.
In the final round, Ravania passed the ¾ mark with 76.9% of the vote, ending the Conclave much sooner than the last one, which lasted through 24 rounds of voting.

Conclave-members, fellow-defenders and lurky defenders were asked to comment on this short conclave:

Quote:
 
<Sovreignry> "At least it was shorter this time."
<Tim> "I think it went very well, and after a few initial speed bumps we elected the best Chief for the job."
<frattastan> "I don't know who else was running, but I was pleased with the result."
<Jamie> "Can't say I know enough (or anything at all) to comment :P"
<Johz> "I still can't believe Francos Spain didn't win, he was on fire at the start of the conclave."
<Alyekra> "I have no idea what you're talking about. We didn't have a conclave."
<Afforess> "Well, I didn't really pay attention to the conclave at all, except to note that one did happen."
<Tangaroa> "Personally I wasn't aware of a conclave"
<Unibot> "It was three years ago that I set out to create a brand new defender organization that would transcend politics and pursue what was right. We've always been skeptic of democratic processes, but I believe the Conclave is integral to our organization to find the right leader and find they did! Ravania is the best man for the job and I'm looking forward to seeing what he brings to the table. Running the UDL was the hardest thing I've ever done, it's a hard job but I think if anyone is up to the task it's Ravania. There's not a defender that invaders hate more!"

In an organisation like UDL it is important to have the right people on the right spot at all times. Bearing that in mind following changes have been made:

2 New Guardians:

Luna and The Saturnian Republics, both have served the UDL well as staff-members and are investing time in other endeavours. We wish them all the luck in the world and hope they stop by on irc now and then with stories of their adventures in the real world.

3 (new) Chiefs:

Former Chief of the Band Mahaj has agreed on becoming our new Chief of Intelligence. Former Chief of Intelligence Campinia will be our new Chief of Security. Both are delicate positions and we will refrain on any further comment on their work.
Lieutenant Alyekra will be our new Chief of Culture and Communication, the main idea behind this position is heightening activity on our forum and our irc-channel inbetween updates. A lot of ideas are floating around and I'm convinced Chief Alyekra will make sure everyone knows about them in due time.

5 (new) Senior-Merrymen:

In the past year our group of Senior-merrymen had CTE'd since all members had joined staff or left the organisation. This group is very important in my opinion as they build the bridge between staff and merrymen.
Amongst our members following 5 merrymen have been selected to form that group. They all have shown experience and capability in the past and most have been Senior-merrymen in the old system.

Horse, Soviet-Canuckistan, Nullarni, Milograd and Bazalonia wear the title with an honor well deserved.

1 (new) Lieutenant:

Well he's not that new... and what would Batman be without his Robin. I'm honored to change his masking and re-welcome him in our staff: The one and only Johz!

In the past months our updaters have been very active: Tens of smaller liberations, hundreds of detags and endless chasing taggers from TBR and TEK.

Two Liberations made the ribbon-level: Liberal Haven and St Abbaddon:

Detaggers who helped out in UDL-spring-cleaning-detag-tour have been awarded the following medal:

My special thanks goes out to: the RIA Special Forces, who helped out a lot at minor on different missions; the RRA who kicked back in chasing-action under Frattastan's lead and our fellow defenders from various defender groups, who are always ready to help out when needed.
