[ghc-steering-committee] #302 \cases

[Simon Peyton Jones]

Dear steering committee,

See below - it seems that (1) is the winner.  I have recorded the results on our document here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NDXk5kKcLtkqhkSNESAC9jVrBn3yqS_Qe1vacAIKnDs/edit?usp=sharing>.

I'll post on the GitHub.

Thanks for participating in this.  I think this ranked-preference voting works well when it comes down to a balance of taste on syntax, so that complete unanimity is unreasonable expectation.

Simon

Subject: Re: Running the voting algorithm

I'll do it by hand:


Votes:
1 > X > 2 = 4
2 > 4 > X > 1
1 > 4 > 2 > X
1 > X > 2 = 4
2 > 1 > X > 4
X > 1 > 2 = 4
1 > X > 2 = 4
1 > 2 > X > 4
1 > X > 2 = 4
2 > X > 1 > 4

Let's see if 1 is the winner:
1 beats 2 by 7 vs. 3 votes
1 beats 4 by 9 vs. 1 votes
1 beats X by 7 vs. 3 votes

The winner is 1.

(This tally was created on the phone in a tent on a mountain above a Norwegian fjord.)

Could you possibly run the voting algorithm - or tell me how to?
Thanks
Simon
