[Qgis-psc] AGM - processing the voting results

Hi again,

Ok - now I see where you got the formula from (section 8.1 in the charter).

But I think that formula is totally broken, esp. if you count the chair, 
vice-chair and treasurer as being part of the PSC. Technically, yes, 
they are part of PSC, but I think the text in 8.1 in the charter only 
deals with PSC-only candidates, and thus excluding the board (at least 
this is my interpretation ;-) ). But then the question arises, how votes 
in the board section should really be weighted. Why did we come up with 
this stupid ranking idea?

The other problem: in the voting form we didn't clearly communicate that 
the PSC-only positions are actually ranked.

Hm - things get a bit complicated ...

Andreas
