<div>Personally I feel that given we are currently revising the bylaws recognising their unsuitability at the moment we would be best placed to go with the actual practise exercised during the last number of elections as its the practise that has elected the
previous number of candidates to their positions, unless we wish to open up the previous elections for allegations of impropriety we should continue the current practise and wait until we have made a decision in the bylaws subgroup on this matter.</div>

Hi Bill,<br>
Technically changing the weights in the list is trivial (I think<br>
Maryam could do it in about 15 seconds), if that's what you decide.<br>
This is not a technical problem but a political decision.<br>

> This puzzled me so I checked with Glen and Maryam as well as the 2013 and 2014 final vote tallies I have saved on my computer. As far as we can see, what we’ve done for some years now is follow the NCSG Charter's vote weighting rather than the NCUC Bylaws'
weighting, which was defined prior the SG's formation. You were on the NCUC EC when we did this in the 2013 election and I don’t recall it being an issue. There’s obviously an argument for having harmonization with the later and technically higher level model,
no? Why should we change direction at this point?<br>

the data base, so I’d rather make sure that our understanding fits with his.<br>
