Hi,
thanks for the reply.
If I were to turn this into a process it might work something like
Nominees from both Cs
Top vote getter is Chair,
Next highest vote getter from other C is Alt-chair
(the theoretical edge case this does not cover is: if the person elected
is an NCSG member but is not a C member. But that is not a case we have
to contend with in this choosing, so i do not worry it about, just
noting the issue.)
So now we have two possible algorithms:
- simple
- alt-simple
Other opinions?
