Henrik,

My response was the affirm Ian's point that is all. Specifically:

* SPI should not be in the business of voting system innovation.

* We should leave voting system development, analysis, and 
recommendation, to civil society organisations specialising in voting 
reform, such as Fair Votes Canada and the UK Electoral Reform Society.

Sincerely,

jD
