Fwd: Announcement Forum - Motion to Implement From: Gary Thompson Date: 2007 May 18 19:37 UTC Short link
I vote yes.
This was my second choice, but since we do not have IRV yet, :>), and Charlie
wants
to run this, I'll go along with it.
If this method fails, the back-up should be choice #1, for the same reasons
that
Kelly said and that it is a much simpler plan.
