Sorry, I had a different impression being the person who proposed it. I was looking for a group of native English speakers to edit the existing text and Cheryl asked that one non-native speaker be included. That was it. Siavash
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:
https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?election_rules_working_group
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.
