<p>I had hoped it would be fixed even for the present election, but
a "consensus" in the EC did not favor this, considering and
valuing "past procedures" over future broad acceptance of revised
solutions.<br>

Let me just say this:
<br>
<br>
(1) EC made its decision: we will continue the current election
under the process given by the EC announcement: NotA is counted as
a "candidate" and can beat out other candidates to prevent them
from winning.
<br>
<br>
(2) The logic of NotA in a multi-seat race is clearly potentially
problematic in principle. However my guess is that this will not
in fact come into play this election. (NotA typically does not
receive a lot of votes in our past experience, and it is not
likely that any of the three candidates will be prevented from
taking office by NotA this time around.)
<br>
<br>
(3) I would support formal procedures to correct the logic
problems with NotA moving forward, and I hope we can get this
fixed very quickly so it doesn't get forgotten. <b>Having NotA
for each candidate in multi-seat races makes good sense</b> to
me, though a few other options could work as well. But my
instinct is to go for the most minimal change in procedure
compared to status quo that is sufficient to make the logic work
without unintended outcomes. NotA for each candidate in
multi-seat races seems the most similar option, to me.
<br>
<br>
Do we need to discuss much more here? Let's try to simplify. :-)
