| The following candidates have been nominated for the nine |
| available positions of Director within the Board of Directors of |
| The Apache Software Foundation, as defined by Article V of the |
| ASF Bylaws. In order to maximize effective representation |
| of all members of the ASF, the 2002-2003 Board of Directors |
| has resolved that such an election will be decided according |
| to the Single Transferable Vote (STV) election process, as |
| described below. |
| |
| STV: |
| Board elections are performed via Single Transferable Vote (STV). Each |
| voter lists all the people they want to see elected in order of |
| preference. Excess votes for people who have already reached their quota |
| (i.e., enough votes to ensure election) and also for the candidate with |
| the least votes are redistributed to lower-numbered choices. This process |
| is repeated until the required number are elected. Please see: |
| |
| http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote |
| |
| Election results are calculated using Meek's method for STV: |
| |
| http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting_Single_Transferable_Votes#Meek.27s_method |
| |
| The key idea to keep in mind is that the ordering of your votes |
| is crucial. Those who you *really* want to be elected should |
| be at the beginning/start of the list. For example: |
| |
| Aragorn, Frodo, Bilbo, Sauron, Gandalf, Treebeard, Gollum, Gimli |
| |
| means that you really want Aragorn to be elected (he's |
| your primary preferred person), followed by Frodo (you want |
| Frodo on the board more than you want Bilbo and Sauron, but |
| not as much as you want Aragorn), followed by Bilbo, etc... |
| |
| There are 9 slots available; you should select all the candidates you |
| want to be on the board, in the order in which you prefer them. You can |
| select less than 9 people, and you can also select more than 9 people. |
