All, We now have an officially empanelled Charter Drafting Committee (below).
A gmail account was used to collect the votes, and Hayford Peirce did the tallying. He says a few other people had access to the account. Hayford then (today) gave me access to the account as well as the worksheet he used to tally the vote. Just a while ago, I did a separate tally of the vote on my own spreadsheet. (I.e., I didn't simply compare the e-mailed votes to the spreadsheet, I actually made a whole new spreadsheet.) I caught two clerical errors that made absolutely no difference to the results. In fact, the number of votes (200) and the number of Citizens who voted for each of 5, 4, 3, or 2 candidates is exactly as Hayford has it. This experience has given me renewed appreciation for our volunteer election workers. An "Advisory Board" was to be named by me, according to our current governing document, the Citizendium Statement of Fundamental Policies, which would adopt a Charter. As promised I would earlier on the forum, I hereby appoint this group of people as a *temporary* Advisory Board for that purpose. Listed alphabetically, not in order of number of votes received, the Committee is: Martin Baldwin-Edwards Howard Berkowitz Shamira Gelbman Matt Innis Meg Ireland Russell Jones Daniel Mietchen Joe Quick Congratulations to everyone! Anyone who wants to see the votes each candidate received may write to Hayford Peirce for that information. Further information about where the Charter itself will begin being drafted should be available via http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Charter_drafting_committee That page also states the rules of the committee. --Larry ----- Lawrence M.
