A Condorcet method would be nice instead of the simple single-vote mechanism used now, in order to avoid some of the common pitfalls of such simple elections. Wikipedia has a good description of what I mean: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_method>. The Debian project uses a variant of this involving the Schwartz Set (details are in section A.6 of <http://www.debian.org/devel/constitution>). I'm not completely sure whether it would really make any difference for us, but, well, it came up when talking about this. -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ AFS3-standardization mailing list [email protected] http://michigan-openafs-lists.central.org/mailman/listinfo/afs3-standardization
