[OOTB-hive] [OOTB-Hive] [ELECTION] Time to Vote!

[Peter Monks]

It was used as the theme music for the 1980s BBC TV series of HHGTTG.  If you haven’t seen that, you should queue it up - you’re in for a treat!!  :-D

Cheers,
Peter

Dear all,

I am writing you this email because it's time to vote in The Order Of The Bee!
Boriss is "out of office" during some days, so I will explain you the mechanism following his guideline:
How to vote for the Board elections

Here is a description about how the vote is made for the elections of the Board.

  *   Each vote is composed by a list of 5 candidates ordered by priority. Note that 5 is the size of the board, according to the by-laws.

  *   No candidate must be listed twice in a single vote.

  *   Omissions are allowed.

Closing the elections

Once the voting period is closed, candidates are sorted by two parameters in this order:

  *   Number of votes

  *   Arithmetic mean of priority

The first 5 members are elected as the Board.

Draws

The only important draw occurs when the Board cannot be determined. For instance, when there is a draw between the 5th and the 6th position. In such case, a new election needs to be run as tie-break where votes will be emitted only for those candidates drawing.

Example

Here is an example of an election with only 2 votes.

Vote 1

  1.  Zaphod Beeblebrox
  2.  Arthur Dent
  3.  Trillian
  4.  Ford Prefect
  5.  Marvin

Vote 2

  1.  Arthur Dent
  2.  Trillian
  3.  Slartibartfast
  4.  Ford Prefect
  5.  Zaphod Beeblebrox

That gives us the following ranking ordered by number of votes, and then by average priority:

R = Ranking V = Number of votes P = Arithmetic mean priority

R  V   P   Candidate
-  -  ---  -------------------
1  2  1.5  Arthur Dent
2  2  2.5  Trillian
3  2  3.0  Zaphod Beeblebrox
4  2  4.0  Ford Prefect
5  1  3.0  Slartibartfast
6  1  5.0  Marvin


Which means that Marvin is out of the Board. He has the same amount of votes as Slartibartfast, but Slartibartfast has a better average priority. Marvin, the paranoid android, probably does not even care. You know, brain the size of a planet and they ask him to be in a Board.

I will send in a while an email with more information to those members that can vote ;-)

Regards!

Cris.
