Automation is nice, but I see no real need to have the cumulative vote carry over to the overall one automatically. Having a person in the middle would be just fine. It depends.
Unaffiliated voters deserve the same level of anonymity afforded the ALS representatives; thus I see merit in automating the process if that is possible.
Perhaps, even if BigPulse says that what Nick wants can't be done, I could envision a more-conventional process involving two parallel BigPulse votes:
- one for unaffiliated members - one for ALSs
Just before the end of ALS voting, the unaffiliated member vote is closed; then the Chair is directed to cast a ballot to that effect in the ALS vote, on behalf of the unaffiliated.
Could that work? It would take away the need for someone to have the burden of forming the caucus, while allowing everyone to have the same level of privacy and time to vote.

Sounds quite fine to me. In fact, that is pretty much exactly what I was suggesting (with the "chair" in playing the role of my "person in the middle"). But stated with more clarity! Alan
