There is the suggestion that I can nominate A, B and C as my proxies.
Should A not vote, B is my proxy. If not B then C. Etc.
How about a proportional proxy? If I'm unsure about my proxies, I'll
diversify and hedge my bets. I'll put 60% on A, 30% on B, 10% on C.
I think if A doesn't vote, 60% of my vote gets split between A's
proxies.
What do you think? Useful model? Unnecessary complication?
Also, I think there is a Depth First traversal that makes this
reasonably fast.
(Unified proxy distribution would be searched Breadth First: Have my
proxies (in order) voted? have theirs? ...)
