Do you have a &gt; definition document of some kind of SD2-S as a system?</p> <p>-M: Good question. I just now looked and the closest thing to documentation is my &#8216;screenshot&#8217; posts. I do have a Yahoo group: <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sd-2/">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sd-2/</a><br/> and my constraints for SD2 as an umbrella system are here. But this is just for selecting generalist/trustees/directors, SD2-S is much more sophisticated.</p> <p>To understand SD2-S, look at the screenshot, and understand the default hierarchy:<br/> If specialists are not selected by the voter for an issue, then the previous generalist/trustees are defaulted to.</p> <p><a class="readMore" href="#" onclick="Element.hide(this); Element.removeClassName(this.parentNode.nextSibling, 'tooLarge'); return false;">Read more&#8230; / Lire plus&#8230;</a> <div class="tooLarge"></p> <p>&gt;S: [&#8230;]whether you actually expect 40% of the whole voting &gt; population to cast a direct vote on each issue &#8211; &#8230;</p> <p>-M: No, 40% of whoever votes, by popular vote. A majority isn&#8217;t needed as long as the default 60% of PageRanked proxy vote is met.</p> <p>&gt;S:&#8230;even if through a position through proxy, etc etc etc.</p> <p>-M: And the representitive vote is determinned by PageRank &#8211; this is the proxy vote, and this needs 60% by default.</p> <p>&gt;S: And direct voting is a voter directly casting his vote to be counted on a given proposal/issue.</p> <p>-M: OK, &#8216;to be counted&#8217; , which does what? With SD2-S, this either triggers deliberation thresholds or not.</p> <p>shanti<br/> Mark, Seattle WA <span class="caps">USA</span></p> </div></p>
