I agree. And think that teleconference is very expensive. At least for me.
(I'm representative of NON COMMERCIAL sector).

I have some important doubts.

1) I read the Amadeu's comments, but who decided that nobody will be
elected in the first round?. I don't agree with that.

2) I strongly prefer that all votes until third round inclusive, would be
sent by mail and not necesarely during the teleconference. I don't
understand why it is neccesary.
I either agree with that.

3) What did we do to obtain this extemely complex system?? 
I believe that the Andrew's proposal is simplest (in that moment I thought
it was complex......). I think it is important to add only that in the
first round  each NC member has 3 votes.

Finally I ask you to have two or three more days to decide it and I propose
that we vote to aprobe this system point by point.

If it is only my thought, good. Go ahead with this mechanism.
