If we would require a quorum (in the sense of Anthony Towns draft, i.e. we would require some minimal total number of votes) INSTEAD of a supermajority, I would like this: 1) Implementing a quorum seems to have a lower risk of damaging Condorcet voting, than the discussed supermajority strategies have. 2) We control the set of voters via the NM process, so we may hope that voters know what they are doing. And if a majority of voters is convinced that we should do something, it will make sense, won't it? Jochen -- Omm (0)-(0) http://www.mathematik.uni-kl.de/~wwwstoch/voss/privat.html
