[At-Large] Next ALAC Teleconference / Board Liaison Vote

[Izumi AIZU]

Robert,

I think that is a smart question, not silly.

If I understand correctly, Instant runoff is usually used
to select single position from more than three candidates,
and when no candidate gets a majority, it eliminates the
least preffered candidate and redistribute the ballots
of the elininated one according to the preference.

The following was useful:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting

So I would say, just vote it!
