I notice that voters are required to rank all the venues listed no matter what.
It seems that once they vote "None of the Above," they should be finished. Is
there any way to eliminate that? Or does anyone else feel that we should rank
all of them regardless?

Subject: [Basfa] BASFA Locations, Polls and Voting
The Relocation Committee is proud to present the first stage in settling the
location of our new meeting place. As discussed at the meeting on Monday, 4
April, instead of voting on all the locations at a designated meeting, the
Relocation Committee will be presenting the results of an online survey as the
recommendation of the Committee. This survey will allow the voice of the entire
membership, regardless of their ability to attend the meeting with the actual
vote, to be heard.
The poll uses the Instant Runoff Voting, what the Hugo Awards used or their
ballots (so many of you will be familiar with that). The winner of this poll
will be brought before the members at the meeting on 4 May, 2016 as the
recommendation of the Committee for ratification.
As was recommended at the meeting on Monday, 28 March, the chosen site will be
used exclusively for a month (to discover and iron out any issues that may
occur.) If we are satisfied, we will make that our new permanent home. The
first meeting of that month trial will be on Monday, 16 May.
You have heard of the dreaded BASFA voting block, here is the dreaded BASFA
voting link: https://www.opavote.com/vote/4756150994075648
The poll is currently open, and will close on Saturday, 30 April.
Please vote responsibly...
The list of restaurants that we will have been at as of the May 2 meeting are
as follows (in order of appearance):
- Round Table Pizza, Sunnyvale (12/21, 12/28, 1/4, 1/11, 1/18, 2/1, 2/15,
2/29)
- Omega’s Family Restaurant, Milpitas (1/25, 4/18)
- Black Bear Diner, Milpitas (2/8, 3/14, 3/28, 5/2)
- Lyon’s, San Jose (2/22, 4/11, 4/25)
- Old Spaghetti Factory, San Jose (3/7)
- Faz, San Jose (3/21)
- Mimi’s Cafe, San Jose (4/4) [note: we would need to move to Tuesdays to be
able to do every week]
We still need to schedule a location for the May 9 meeting, just so we’re not
booking it last minute, so the month long run for the selected restaurant will
be May 16 - June 13(which will incorporate the post Memorial Day convention
visitors.)
