<pre wrap="">Hi Stephanie,
The issue of multiple voting is on that agenda, although perhaps in
a bit wrong place: look at the last item under "(3) Voting process":
"If an organization's representative is also an individual member,
can they vote in both roles?"
I also raised the issue separately in election-reform list, cf.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.ncsg.is/pipermail/election-reform/2017-June/000021.html">https://lists.ncsg.is/pipermail/election-reform/2017-June/000021.html</a>
as I already reported in this list as well.
As I also noted, NCSG EC discussed this last Friday and decided to
continue on the subject after current elections.
The more general issue of someone representing multiple organizations
has never come up, but should obviously be resolved at the same time.
I would like to invite you to join the election-reform list
to participate in the discussion.

Hi Tapani, thanks for coming up with that list of rules. There is no
mention of the multiple voting issue on the list, and this is one I find
particularly odd. Many of us belong to numerous civil society or academic
networks and organizations. Since it costs nothing to join NCSG, an
enterprising person could get his/her organization to join, and offer to be
the representative. That enterprising person could then vote multiple votes
for each organization represented, and as an individual as well???? Is there
no limit to how many ballots one person could control? I could quite easily
cast a dozen votes then, depending on the size of the organizations I would
purport to represent. I find this very odd indeed. Obviously, we cannot
fix an issue like that in mid-election, but if you could point me to where
this issue has been discussed, I would like to catch up on the conversation,
and I would suggest it is something that needs to be fixed if it is as loose
as I have just described.

<pre wrap="">Dear all,
As those who have followed the election-reform list know, there were a
number of issues regarding our elections that have never been properly
resolved or at least not documented. Unfortunately we did not have
enough time to work them all through - I have already posted
separately about the most important ones that we did - so I'll just
note briefly that the EC decided to leave the remaining issues to be
worked out after current election, and do a quick ad hoc decision if
some issue becomes acute.
For reference, you can see a list of things so far identified here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.ncsg.is/pipermail/election-reform/2017-May/000002.html">https://lists.ncsg.is/pipermail/election-reform/2017-May/000002.html</a>
The list is unlikely to be complete, and if anybody has ideas of
other things to be addressed, they'd be most welcome (either here
or in election-reform list or even just email me to forward
to election-reform list).
