What a wonderful thread just at the right time! Please, everyone, engage in some online debate/discourse at http://aoir.org/forum so that later on you can do some informed online voting for your new executive committee!

A question: Years ago now James Carey pointed out that the "vote" is comprised of more than the voting moment, for it also includes public discourse about the issues and candidates being voted upon. For this reason, he argues, the question of electronic voting must include attention to the question of participation in public discourse about issues and candidates to be meaningful. Christian, in your report about the debate this topic doesn't appear -- was it raised at all? Thanks -- Sandra Braman _______________________________________________ Air-l mailing list Air-l@aoir.org http://www.aoir.org/mailman/listinfo/air-l
