Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Board Candidate Manifestos: 3 questions

RCV = Ranked Choice Voting, sometimes called Instant-Runoff Voting (though that describes the vote-counting process rather than the voting itself). In the past it has also been known as Preferential Voting. PR = Proportional Representation, a process for multi-seat elections that helps distribut

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Board Candidate Manifestos: 3 questions

Hi, Dirk, I provided this reference that I think explains it very well: http://www.fairvote.org/fair_representation#ranked_choice_voting_pr I didn’t want to sidetrack the more general discussion here, but I’ll give a schematic overview. 1) The basic idea is that voters rank some or all

OK, this makes it a bit more clear. So PR is preferential? RCV? Dirk :-) On 17-10-17 16:03, Jody Garnett wrote: > I would be willing to give it a shot. > > Dirk here is a comic > >  from > austral

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Board Candidate Manifestos: 3 questions

I would be willing to give it a shot. Dirk here is a comic from australia so it is blunt. It allows voters a way out of choosing between their heart and their head. -- Jody Garnett On 17 October 201

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Board Candidate Manifestos: 3 questions

Interesting Andy, I can see how that RCV/PR/ranking could help better representation from our local chapters. I think after the dust settles on this election, we should all then take a deep breath and sit back and analyze this 2017 election process, and together (as Charter members) make a pro

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Board Candidate Manifestos: 3 questions

So I could make this a fourth question. What are the candidates perspectives on using RCV/PR to increase representation from The Rest of the World? — Andy On Oct 16, 2017, at 11:23 PM, Andy Anderson mailto:aander...@amherst.edu>> wrote: We should consider using ranked-choice voting with propor

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Board Candidate Manifestos: 3 questions

That is some bold thinking Dirk, I like it. I would want to be careful to establish the relationship appropriately; and be pretty much guided by the local chapters on this one. One advantage to being a local chapter can be as a separate legal entity. I guess for local chapters that want to preserv

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Board Candidate Manifestos: 3 questions

We should consider using ranked-choice voting with proportional representation [1] instead of the current at-large system of electing the board. It will ensure majority rule but also provide representation of larger minority interests. — Andy [1] http://www.fairvote.org/fair_representation#ran
