There was no recorded voting. Since there was only a show of hands, we tried to cross-verify from amongst those present about who voted how. The following seems to be the result of our inquiries so far:
Out of the 30 members of the Press Council:
Absent: 6
Out of the 24 present:
For the report to be made public: 9
Non-Committal about whether or not the report should be made public: 3
Against the report to be made public: 12
This is based on information from some of the members present. Should any of those present in the July 30 meeting wish to dispute the above, we would be more than happy to offer their version and/or correct the above.
