The only reason why I haven't signed the declaration is because I've assumed
that it's only for celebrities, dignitaries and offically-annointed
authorities.
is that so?
If anyone can sign the declaration, then I'd like to.
So, my 2nd question in this post is: If anyone can sign the declaration, then
how does one sign it. Where does one e-mail to, or what website
does one go to?
The declaration, as I remember, favorably mentions or recommends 5 methods
(with the understanding that there could be other good ones):
Approval
Range or Score Voting
Majority Judgement (median point totals)
SODA (simple optionally delegated Approval)
IRV
The 1st four of those really effectively amount to Approval,
differently-implemented, or with an enhancement. IRV would be a perfectly
ok method if voters weren't so timid and giveaway-resigned (but they are). So
that set of recommendations is a quite good one, and I thoroughly
support the declaration.
So, can just anyone sign it, without being an officially-recognized authority,
celebrity or dignitary? And, if so, how does one sign it?
