AW: [registrars] Re: RESULTS: Restart of balloting on Domain Tasting, View 1 & View 2
As far as my understanding goes, this vote was only taken to give us
councilors a better understanding of the support each of the views has in
the constituency. There is absolutely no need for determining a
supermajority or analyzing the votes.
Best,
tom

Bob,
I appreciate the analysis, but I think you're unintentionally throwing out
votes. If I understand you correctly there were a total of 42 votes
cast/counted. Those in favor of View 1 were 24. That's 57.14% of the votes.
Even if you add those 4 who voted for both views into both, adjusting for
counting them as both, that's 28 in favor out of 46 votes or 60.87%.
Everyone's vote counts and should be part of the mearsurement.
Regardless of my personal view, I still believe there is no indication of a
supermajority for one view or the other.
Tim

Dear Registrars and Observers: I find there were only two members who
attempted to vote but were unable to do so. Here are the adjustments.
First adjustment of total from 41 to 40. This kind of discrepancy usually
results from an autoreply returning an unmarked ballot.
Second adjustment, one vote each for View 1 and View 2, as shown at end of
each detailed sub-total, below. (masonc@snapnames for Vision 2,
registry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for Vision1).
Results for Restart of balloting on Domain Tasting, View 1 & View 2 Number
of ballots received: 41-1=40
An HTML version of the result is available at

Which view do you agree with?
Agree with view 1 23
Agree with view 2 7
Agree with both views 4
Do not agree with either view 3
Abstain 3
With second adjustment:
Agree with view 1 23+1=24
Agree with view 2 7+1=8
Agree with both views 4
Do not agree with either view 3
Abstain 3
Comparing View 1 and View 3, 24/32=0.75 or 75%, 8/32=0.25 or 25%.
>From here on it gets more difficult to analyze. We are entering uncharted
waters. We have never held a vote of this kind.
Considering the 4 agreeing with both and 3 agreeing with neither might have
the effect of increasing View 1 and View 2 by one vote each.
Agree with view 1 23+1+1=25
Agree with view 2 7+1+1=9
Agree with both views 4
Do not agree with either view 3
Abstain 3
[There was an error in this calculation in the text sent to Voting Members.]
But what do we do with the abstains? In a "Yes/No/Abstain" motion, we add
the abstains to the "No" total.
Using such a system, we might decrease View 1 and View 2 by 3 each:
Agree with view 1 23+1+1-3=22
Agree with view 2 7+1+1-3=6
Abstain 3
Enough of these hypotheses. Here are the rest of the data. Sufficient to
say that View 1 (which View opposes Domain Tasting) had a strong majority
(supermajority?) over View 2 (which favours some forms of Domain Tasting).
The Main Motion stated that there was no "supermajority" for either
position. In my opinion, the votes show that there is, indeed, a
supermajority which "dis-favors" Domain Tasting.
