Anyone know who should be informed that the ballot mailer cannot count?

If you actually look at the ballot page, only ten people voted:
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/sca-bindings/ballot.php?id=1674

Since we were allowed to vote for two options, that apparently
hopelessly confuses the balloting system.

Of the ten people who voted, nine voted for "we should disallow this case."

I'm not sure if the "may vote for two" option was intended as "instant
runoff", but if it were, then that suggests that people like myself who
only voted for one item "lost" a vote.  Arguably, if I only voted for
one option, does that mean that my vote should count twice?  If so, you
could tabulate it as:
14 votes for "we should disallow".
6 votes for "allow, but match all ports"

Seems like another demonstration that voting systems are unavoidably biased.
