[APAC-Discuss] FW: VOTE RESULTS: ALAC Voting Delegate to theNomCom for 2014 from APRALO

Wed Jul 17 14:06:43 UTC 2013

 Hi Ali 

 First, I agree, the voting process is confusing. However, by using 
preferential voting, the end result always indicates a winner. Just 
start with the notion that what is being counted is a person's choice, 
And if more people indicate that someone is their first choice by 
putting a 1 next to the name of their preferred candidate, that person 
will have the most '1's - or the lowest score. With that logic, the 
person who is the third choice with have the most '3's - or the 
highest score. Sorry if it is confusing, but it does produce an 
outcome showing people's preferred choice. 

 And yes, there was some confusion as to when people could nominate. 
If you remember, Rinalia suggested that, before the process closed, 
the candidates should have an opportunity to talk to their candidacy - 
which is what you did and what happened. It meant that everyone voting 
had an opportunity to at least listen to the candidates. But what it 
meant was that the original deadlines had to be changed to accommodate 
the webinar. So what were hard and fast dates for nominations were 
moved. While that added to the confusion, it did give an opportunity 
for people to know a bit more about the candidates they would be 
voting for. 

 I hope that has cleared things up but please get back to me with any 
further questions, and I apologise for not replying sooner. the ICANN 
meeting means I do not get to my emails as quickly as I should.
