Re: [VOTE] PPMC members to decide voting procedure

[Rick Winscot]

If a community vote is desired... 

I would recommend considering the community vote as stage-one of a two-stage weighted vote. Where voting power is divided between the community and PPMC such that the community voting power can contribute to a single outcome but would not jeaopardize a majority (e.g. PPMC) vote. This preserves the spirit and rule of a binding PPMC vote without excluding a community voice.

I would also recommend using a tool that is designed to incorporate visual elements / logos -directly- in the survey. Expecting voters to keep track of what they are looking at and voting on isn't practical... perhaps something like http://www.surveygizmo.com/ would be more appropriate? ( see the sneaker selector example )

In stage-two, PPMC can take the community vote into account as they cast their own votes. The outcome of the contest can then be expressed as:

Am I serious? Yes...

At this stage - can the PPMC just carry out a [VOTE] to include or not include the community vote?

That is nonsense. While the initial commiters are rightly so experts

at what they do, I don't think they are necessarily experts at

creating or selecting a logo. There needs to be more voice heard on

this.

-1 I agree with Randy, I don't see the logo vote as something that should

not be open to the entire Flex community, this is the brand of our, the

community's, technology. Lets allow everyone to have a voice.
