Rad Plan Profile Selection Voting Mechanism and Method

This wiki page is to present two topics for further discussion and comments, as a result of the May 11th, 2015, IHE Rad Planning Committee tcon. Also see these meeting minutes.
This voting mechanism will be used 2x per annual cycle, starting with the 2015-2016 cycle. Once to select the short listed profile proposals. Once to select the final (detailed) profile proposals.
- IHE Rad Proposed Profile Voting Mechanism (what is the voting process?)
- IHE Rad Proposed Profile Voting Method (how do we collect votes?)
IHE Rad Proposed Profile Voting Mechanism

- Typically 2 or 3 profiles are selected per year, so it is not a “straight up, majority rules” voting process.
- There are two options listed below proposed to be used for the Profile Selection process.
- 1.) Current Voting Mechanism: Simple Condorcet method
- The simple Condorcet method of ranking proposals (a unique value n for each of n options; highest value to first choice) was selected for use.
- For example, if there are 6 profile proposals, each voting member casts a vote from A (highest, worth 6 points) to F (lowest, worth 1 point) for each proposal. The two or three highest vote totals win.
- This has the unfortunate side effect of being able to vote “against” another proposal, sometimes unintentionally. The effect is majorities disenfranchising minorities.
- 2.) Proposed Voting Mechanism: modified Borda Count method
- Method used for multiple “winners”, and intended to allow smaller “interested parties” to place also. No voting against other profiles. Allows reasonably sized minority groups to participate.
- First select the number of "winners" (e.g., 1, 2, 3 or 4 profiles.) Calculate (n-1)**2. That is the weight of the first vote. Subsequent votes are worth half of the value.
- For example, to select 3 profiles, (3-1)**2 = 4. Then, each voting member gets three votes:
- One vote worth 4 points
- One vote worth 2 points
- One vote worth 1 point
