I think it would be best to state affirmatively how the EM discussions 
would result in material progress toward better election methods. Mike 
seems to have done that, asking for action on recommendations.

It might be mentally interesting to keep producing a lot of election 
methods, but unless there is some grounding in the real world, the 
purpose of reform will be subverted. To move forward, a single winner 
reform should receive some sort of recognition as "best" according to 
specific criteria. Maybe there are few people on this list who agree with 
that or are interested in publicly advocating for election reforms.
