I haven't heard of any.... but I'm certainly not an Iraq expert. What would be *really* interesting in Iraq is delegable proxy; perhaps Asset Voting, which is a variation on delegable proxy invented by Warren Smith and, perhaps, simplified by me as Fractional Approval Asset Voting. I really should put up a page on Asset and FAAV. Warren, of course, is occupied promoting Range Voting.... ---- election-methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
