--------------------
There has been lengthy and recurrent discussions about reforming the
voting system for AB/TAG elections. 


The current system is allegedly broken as it is stated by various
members, but the AC is not willing to work on this unless someone comes
up with a comprehensive explanation and proposal.


There are many alternatives:
* pick up one alternative voting system
* work on a tool to create simulation
* use this tool for **non official** ballot at the same time as an
official ballot (which would be used with the current systen)


All of these items have been proposed in various email threads in
w3c-ac-forum and public-w3process list, not repeating the links here for
the sake of conciseness.


This group will not publish specifications.

Thank you,
