[pp.int.general] Election Results

[W Tovey]

As mentioned already, the vote was carried out by Single Transferable 
Vote as described here: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote
The counting was all done "automatically" using OpenSTV which can be 
found here: http://www.openstv.org/
This process was agreed upon by the delegates.

For the record I should probably confess that the original post in this 
thread wasn't made by me - one of the side effects of the "sea of 
laptops" that were lying around at the conference (it was posted by the 
returning officers who dealt with all of this stuff). Personally, I'm 
not really sure how the voting worked, but I'm a mathematician and 
knowing that an explanation exists (i.e. on Wiki) and that I could find 
out exactly how it works (from the other site linked) is enough for me.

[Also, if people want to contact me personally, in the future please use 
my PPUK address, not the PPI one. If you want to contact the "person who 
tries to know what's going on with PPI stuff", you'll need to try 
someone else.]
