Diane,
The choices look good; they reflect what we discussed yesterday.
We used a similar voting procedure for issue 152, but presented it
differently, as a sequence of ballots, each with the same choices,
labelled "first choice", "second choice", etc. Did this style of
balloting not work very well?

Given the discussion we've had on
the
vote for 11, I thought it best to run the draft ballot by the committee
before I officially start it to make sure its clear enough and I've not
overlooked anything. Let me know if you have any questions or
comments.
Info on Condorcet voting can be
obtained
at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_method
This is the calculator that we've
used
to determine results: http://condorcet.ericgorr.net/
Draft text for the ballot:
Please indicate your preferred
options
for resolving issue 11:
A: Proposal from Ugo Corda on Mar.
30,
2005 (http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/wsbpel/email/archives/200503/msg00231.html)
B: Close with no change.
C: Proposal from Ron Ten Hove on
Oct.
25, 2005 (http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/wsbpel/email/archives/200510/msg00094.html)
Note that this option includes rescinding the resolution to 48 and
reclosing
it with a reference to the resolution to issue 11.
D: Accept both proposals.
E: None of the above.
Please write in your preference in
order
in the field for the "Other" option below - eg, if you like option
D best, B second best, A next, C next and E last, please enter:
D>B>A>C>E.
(Commas are also ok). If you consider two choices equivalent,
you may express that with an = sign, for example in the last example,
if
you have no preference between B and A, you would vote:
D>B=A>C>E.
You may chose fewer than the 5
entries
- the ones you do not list will be treated as equally undesired. For
example, if you prefer B then A and none of the others, you can vote,
B>A
(This would be equivalent to B>A>C=D=E).
When you vote, you will get to
select one of two options: Abstain, or Other: To vote, you
enter the prefrence order in the other field.
