Should round 2 result in a tie, the ABSdt agreed to use Excel Random Numbers formula to identify the winner. Random Numbers formula allows a random number to be picked out of a given total of numbers. In the event of a tie vote, At-Large Staff would run the Excel Random Number formula in the presence of a member of ICANN¹s Legal team.
In the Excel Random Numbers formula, the candidates would be given the numerical equivalent to the position of their family name in the alphabetical order (e.g. Sébastien Bachollet would be given the numerical value 1 and Alan Greenberg would be given the numerical value 2.)
