How about an STV vote among (at least) the proposals: A comp.sys.ibm.pc.{hardware,programmer}, both groups. B comp.os.msdos and comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware, both groups. C Making Brad Templeton Czar of comp.sys.ibm.pc.all. D comp.sys.ibm.pc.tech. E comp.sys.ibm.pc.programmer ( and whatever else gets suggested ) And of course N NO GROUP. Votes would be counted by the STV technique. Additional write-in proposals would be allowed. At the end of the voting period I would run the STV process until a proposal passes the guidelines (100 votes more than all other remaining candidates, including NO GROUP, and more than twice as many votes for the group as for all other remaining candidates, including NO GROUP). Votes for NO GROUP would not be transferred. Votes otherwise running out will be discarded. Votes should match the following pattern: VOTE D N This should be alone on a line somewhere in the body of the message. I'll probably set up a pseudo-address for the job.
