Should round 2 result in a tie, the ABSdt agreed to use Excel Random Numbers
formula to identify the winner. Random Numbers formula allows a random
number to be picked out of a given total of numbers.  In the event of a tie
vote, At-Large Staff would run the Excel Random Number formula in the
presence of a member of ICANN¹s Legal team.
 
In the Excel Random Numbers formula, the candidates would be given the
numerical equivalent to the position of their family name in the
alphabetical order (e.g.  Sébastien Bachollet would be given the numerical
value 1 and Alan Greenberg would be given the numerical value 2.)
