[EM] Thanks for your help with Unity08

[Dr. Ernie Prabhakar]

Hi all,

Not sure who all from here participated, but we had a very lively  
discussion on the Unity08 forums:

http://www.unity08.com/node/970

Virtually everyone came out in favor of either Preferential or  
Approval (though mostly IRV supporters :-P).

The even better news is that I was able to raise this issue during  
Unity08's live chat:

http://unitywatch.blogspot.com/2007/04/question-for-live-chat-on- 
unity08-rules.html

It turned one of the panelists was a big fan of Approval (but not  
IRV :-).  We rapidly got a bit too technical for the chat, so he  
asked me to follow up offline. He likes the idea, but fears that non- 
standard voting would be too hard to sell as part of Unity08. My day  
job is Marketing, though, so hopefully I can persuade him otherwise...

Thanks again, and I'll let you know if there's anything else we  
(collectively) can do.

Best,
-- Ernie P.
