Re: [eclipse.org-planning-council] Time for a run-off vote

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think we should just have the run-off
vote as we agreed in the previous call. It won't kill anyone to wait one
more week.

In the end the planning council will
always have the final decision anyway. If it turns out that voter fatigue
prevents people from bothering to vote again, then we can take that into
consideration when we have the result. For example if Ion wins the run-off
with only 50 votes, but we had 100 votes for Indigo in the first round,
we can decide to go with Indigo since the most people voted for it.

Thanks for the applause :) but don't think we can use our own fatigue to
call off a run off ... my concern is that we said we would have one, if
there wasn't a clear majority, and I'd fear some may have based their voting
behavior on that. 

On the other hand, if you are saying, that you think the Planning Council
should choose Indigo over Ion even if Ion won in a run-off vote ... well,
then that'd be a different matter. And the PC could vote here on this mailing
list if that was your motion. 

Thanks,

I'm kinda with Doug on this one - I don't think we need a run-off. David
has expended a whole heap of effort in doing the right thing for this
yearly chore (applause for him) and we may as well call a halt.

We could do a PR system next year for Eclipse JimJams :)
