Excellent , oh grizzled veteran of  wg-consensus.  :-)
Unless  there are further improvements, this is the text I will put up in
the Booth.

I know that Booth result will not be official, but I think it is valuable
that we have
1. a real-time view on the voting
2. automatic tallying on the Web
3. a comment space where voters can summarize their reasoning, making it
easy for anyone to present the combined summary to the NC.
4. speed of implementation.
