I was informed PR (Proportional Representation) was an imprecise description we use locally (in Ireland) but the concept is better described as a Single Transferable Vote (STV). It is a little more complex to implement but in an automated system it shouldn't be a big deal and I have always appreciate how the system is designed to elect the "least unpopular" candidates. Perhaps it is something which will remain open for consideration in future, I hope so. - Alan _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
