Approval Voting Campaign

The organizational board meeting for this group occured on Monday. The only important change to the proposed Bylaws and organization was a new name: Citizens for Approval Voting. This change was suggested by Dr. Brams and is intended to allow non-Americans to feel comfortable using our website and resources for suggesting the use of Approval Voting in their own countries. (This change does not necessarily mean that the organization will become international in scope. The implications of that possibility are now under review.)

I got to meet some really neat people besides Dr. Brams in New York including Richard Winger, editor of Ballot Access News. Richard is a hero of mine due to his hard work and determination in developing his own niche in politics. He has been a true inspiration for my own decision to start this group.

I will be extremely busy in the days ahead now that the organization is real. There are lots of filings and paperwork still to handle. The exciting thing, however, is that I am now very close to being ready to announce the organization to the world at large. I can't wait!
