I've said all I want to say about choice of voting systems. It's
clear that you are not going to convince me; and that I am not going
to convince you. I suggest we drop it.

Where are you looking ? AFAICT this
http://spi-inc.org/corporate/votes/2016-board-election/results/
is the complete data as actually filled into the voting form.
It is this data that I used (after a bit of conversion) in my
experimental testing of openstv against my own reimplementation.
What information do you think is missing ?

If you don't understand by now then clearly you never will. We will
have to agree to disagree.
The Board has asked me to draft the resolution, and I am going to
draft it to specify a voting system I have confidence in.
Ian.
