For what it is worth, I think I assumed STV, but I also think that you're right that it was never formally discussed at board level, and certainly was not communicated to the membership committee. This is purely my fault, since I was the one pushing for it at the board level. :( Luis P.S. Sorry I've been AWOL, but bar exam study has been very distracting, and I did not realize until today that this thread was significant beyond the first email. For what it is worth, from a quick skim of the thread, I think I mostly just agree with Dave N.'s positions. _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
