 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.
