My understanding was that this group was supposed to do a cleanup of the overall ALAC Rules of Procedure. These rules include the election/voting details, but are wider than just that. (And I just checked with Cheryl and she concurs.) Alan At 29/06/2007 09:16 AM, Robert Guerra wrote:
An ad hoc ALAC Election Rules Working Group has been created to help define the election rules for selecting the Board liaison.
The working group is seeking input , specifically a text for a recommended procedure. Wiki - with details is available at the following URL:

Members:
* Cheryl Langdon-Orr (Asia Pacific) * Robert Guerra (North America) * Veronica Cretu (Europe)
Current text is as follows:
Where there are more than two candidates, I recommend single transferrable vote / instant runoff, with the election decided by simple majority of the votes cast:
Each voter ranks the candidates 1-N #1 votes are tabulated;
If one candidate has a majority, that candidate wins. If not, The candidate with fewest #1 votes is dropped from the list and his/ her next (#2) votes are allocated to the remaining candidates;
The process continues until one candidate has a simple majority of the votes. That candidate is the winner.
