Talli, what do you mean by "The incentive to join the first vote will be eligibility to participate in the next vote?" Should voting in the first election be a criterion for voting in future elections? If so, is it sufficient by itself? So the permanent voting criteria would be:
- CVS committers
- (current OCT members?)
- Everybody who's posted in the last three months
- Everybody who voted in the last election
I think there are two rationales behind sponsorship. The first is the working together issue, which I think is less important than the risk of a self-selecting group. The other is a nomination process, without which I guess the ballot would be equal to the voter list? Are we willing to try a California election? If not, what other nomination methods might we try?
Do we want to do approval voting (vote for the nine people you want?) or some kind of ranked voting (vote 1-9)?
