Hi, Voting for the various options presented in the report [1] of the Fiscal Continuity Interest Group is now open:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/K5MWGNC Because of a delay on my end getting the ballot set up, the voting period is extended and will close at midnight ET on Friday, 3 November 2017. As noted in the survey, the purpose of this vote is to determine the will of the Code4Lib community as it relates to ongoing fiscal continuity of our annual conferences, journal, and other undertakings. The options referenced in the two questions on the ballot are detailed in the report. The vote will use score voting (similar to Diebold-o-tron votes for conference locations and presentations) which allows for awarding scores to each choice on the ballot to reflect the strength of voters’ preferences among all available options. More info on the rationale for score voting is available here: https://electology.org/score-voting The SurveyMonkey survey does not collect names or contact information but will collect IP addresses, which the FCIG will ignore unless we have reason to suspect that zoia and all of zoia's robot friends have decided to participate in the vote. (Or, to express it more seriously, we have reason to believe that something unexpected has happened and automated voting or other shenanigans took place.) Early in the week following the closing of the vote, the FCIG will calculate and publish the results; the responses, sans IP addresses, will also be made available should anyone wish to double-check our arithmetic. Please note that unlike the Diebold-o-tron, SurveyMonkey provides no way for you to go back and edit your response if you should change your mind after submitting it. We encourage everybody who has participated or plans to participate in Code4Lib activities and/or who consider themselves a member of the Code4Lib community to read the report, discuss it, and vote.
