[ga] Procedure.

[Thomas Roessler <roessler@does-not-exist.org>]

1. There will be a formal vote.

2. The options available for vote will include any resolutions  
supported by no less than 10 individuals (including the proponent),  
which are presented for inclusion with the ballot.  It's up to the  
various proponents to come up with a final version of the text at  
hand.  Please post any such resolutions (including supporters) until 
24:00 Pacific Time.  (This is an extension of the original deadline; 
this extension was, in slightly more vague form, announced by  
Alexander on Friday.) 

I'd suggest that you start the subject line for any such posting  
with "RESOLUTION." I'd also suggest that you _only_ use this prefix  
for final resolution texts which are supposed to go onto the ballot.

NOTE: The resolution proposed by Alexander (although I actually do  
support it) will not be put onto the ballot unless it gets the  
necessary support.

PLEASE SEND YOUR NOTE OF SUPPORT TO ALEX IF YOU WANT THIS TO BE  
INCLUDED WITH THE BALLOT!

3. To evaluate the vote, we'll mostly follow Jonathan Weinberg's  
earlier suggestion: You'll be able to vote on each resolution.  The 
resolution which gets most "yes" votes will be considered to have 
been accepted, under the additional condition that more than 50% of 
voters accepted it.

4. In the case of a tie (i.e., n > 1 motions being accepted with the 
same number of votes), we'll perform a demonstration of applied 
cryptography, and I'll securely toss an n-sided coin, with James 
Love as the other player.  (Jamie: You do have PGP, don't you?)
