I have a simple request for those posting to this list:
If you use abbreviations for voting methods, please include a small
glossary at the end of your message. For example,
... here I'm saying something about DMC, GATV, and IBIFA ...
[... rest of text ...]
Glossary:
DMC: Definitive Majority Choice (a Condorcet method)
GATV: Graded Approval Transferable Vote (quota-based PR method based on
ER-Bucklin)
IBIFA: Irrelevant Ballot Independent Fallback Approval (Chris Benham
single-winner method based on ER-Bucklin)
If you make a file containing your usual terms, you can just include
it at the end of your message.
Okay, maybe that isn't such a simple request ;-), but it would really
help, especially when certain posters use a whirlwind of initialisms
that I didn't pay attention to when they introduced them in 20
separate messages 28 months ago ...
