What about this system based on discussion and election: We have 7 days to decide a winner: - Step 1: Days 1 and 2. Free debate between the members of the jury through private mailing list. We recommend them to share their initially preferred candidates and why. No problem if someone doesn't send any comments. We encourage the community to debate as well in the Warm Up forum. Days 1 and 2. - Step 2: Day 3. Every member send a non sorted list of 3 candidates to the prize. No problem if at 23:59h someone still hasn't sent candidates - emails received after that won't count. At the end of the day we have a list of all the candidates sorted alphabetically, no matter if they were chosen by one member or all of them. - Step 3. Day 4 to 6. Using http://www.demochoice.org/ and the Instant run-off voting system - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting - the members of the jury vote for their candidates. Briefly explained: each voter can vote for just one candidate or sort some/all of them in order of preference. No problem if a member doesn't vote before the deadline. In parallel another election is held with the same system and candidates open to the community. The result of this public election will decide the vote of the community in the jury's (closed) poll - it will be introduced by hand by one of us. - Step 4. Day 7. The winners of the 2 contests are announced. Having 10 jury members instead of 5 doubles the potential implication of the related communities to these contests. Having this cool voting system increases the chances of getting really the most accepted works as winners, approaching much better to a consensus (matematically) than probably an email discussion between 10 or 5 members generally short of time etc. This poll system is easy to manage, it shouldn't take more than 3-4h of one person (probably myself) to handle the whole process. We shouldn't force ourselves to have the 10 members. We send the 10 invitations at the beginning of the process (one month ahead), if we get the 10 respnses great. If not, we are not going to pursue anybody. As you see, the system doesn't depend on anyone's (lack of) response. -- Quim Gil - http://desdeamericaconamor.org
