Thoughts on Voting Methods #11

Closed jaekwon closed 4 years ago

jaekwon commented 4 years ago

Recent discussions in the OpenLibra.io community brought about this discussion.

Instant Runoff RVC is deeply flawed.

See https://twitter.com/jaekwon/status/1194890572240044032

All RVC voting have biases (preferences), but a non-concordent system where non-majority-acceptable proposals are passed IMO are fundamentally unacceptable.

Secrecy + UnfairProposals combo is inherently dangerous

See https://github.com/open-libra/governance/issues/4#issue-523855012

Privacy vs Transparency

There is a need to better understand when privacy of voting is needed, vs transparency, while addressing the issues above.

OpenLibra experiment

OpenLibra.io is conducting a vote and I have organized an open poll that is a variant of the Approval Voting process. Namely, a strict majority of approvals is necessary for a proposal to be deemed acceptable.

See https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1e-YlugA8Nwa0oeU-IgNBzlo2LfqOADN65uh9NR_45Ag/edit#gid=0 for all the gory details, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approval_voting for more commentary.
