Voting process

Like previous OpenStack Governance Elections, we will use the Condorcet
Internet Voting Service from Cornell University,
http://www.cs.cornell.edu/andru/civs.html.  This tool uses the Condorcet
method of voting which invokes ranking the  nominees instead of just
selecting one choice. More information on this  methodology is at
http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~andru/civs/rp.html. All registered voters
will receive an email with a unique link allowing them to privately
vote.

Please note that the voting system is run using private polls with
restricted access to ensure voter authenticity; however all results will
be made public once the election ends. Voter anonymity is guaranteed.
The result’s ranking will be evaluated using Schulze (also known as
Beatpath or CSSD) completion rule. If an individual should happen to be
elected as both a PTL and General  Member of the PPB, then they will
take their PTL seat only and the  elected General Member seat will go to
the next highest vote getter in  the most recent election.  Thanks for
participating in this essential process.

The election committee is made of Stefano Maffulli, Lloyd Dewolf and
Dave Nielsen.
