Subject: [atlarge-discuss] AL001, Vote to choose organization name
Many words are said
Some even merit saying
Some said even bloom...
...that said
The ballot, in part stated:
- "The results are due no later than Wednesday September 25, 2002" -
today is Wednesday - it would seem nothing was delayed.
- "Do not edit this ballot" - more than a few were edited, in more than a
few ways, necessitating a detail review of all such ballots, by all of us
- the editing included the changing of one or more of the
selection-of-names to something different.
- "just put a number between square brackets [ ]" - I presume
square-brackets were found to be offensive to some, as they were changed.
- "rank selected names 1 through 5" - again I presume this was found to
be offensive to some as: an X, multiple X, X & ordinal combinations, and
multiple same-ordinal combinations were used.
And, about the ballots:
- Almost 70 bounced/could-not-deliver Mail Delivery Subsystem messages
were received.
- Some received ballots were received having both the name and the email
address NOT on our membership list.
- Some people received two ballots.
- No ballot was discarded no matter which ballot-request was not followed
as long as the ballot's intent could be discerned.
- Again, questionable ballots were reviewed by all of us.
- Almost 170 ballots were received, including one which commented on what
the election was thought to be, but with no name selected.
- More than a few ballots only voted for one or two names.
The final results using the "Preferential" or "Single-Transferable" Voting
System are:
ICANNATLARGE.ORG - 77
ATLARGE.ORG - 62
ICANNAtLarge.org it is...
From my point of view...
We have now "clothesed the Emperor" as we "asked for..."
