You know, I'd like this not to be a referendum on the voting method. If whatever we are doing is ok for 2 or 3 open seats on the board it is surely good enough for 3 or 4 open seats. If it is good enough for 4 or 5 open seats on FESCo and 7 open seats on FAmSCo I don't get why this is an issue. While I think it is not to my taste, I see it as a side issue.
