Hi all: At our meeting on Thursday, 21 Jan, Byron left me with two tasks:

1) On slide 37 I objected to the wording of "unelected candidates" to
identify the top-up candidates in MMP. Instead, I would use words
similar to:

Regional candidates are elected from surplus votes in the Riding
portion of the ballot.


2) Byron asked for language for a copyright statement.  The
presentation *will* be covered by copyright, since Canadian law
automatically applies copyright protections even if you don't want
them. I'm not sure that the Fair Vote Canada Waterloo Region Chapter
is an entity capable of holding a copyright, and I don't want the
copyright to be transferred to Fair Vote Canada (while it's
inconceivable, transferring copyright to FVC may prevent us from
using, modifying or distributing it ourselves).  To allow the maximum
use and widest distribution I'm going to suggest:

To the extent possible under law, the author of this presentation,
text and graphics, Byron Weber Becker has waived all copyright and
related or neighboring rights.  This work can be copied, modified, and
redistributed without permission or attribution.

Use one of the CC0 logos from http://www.fairvotewrc.ca/cc-0-88x31/ or

Gordon raised the point that this allows the work to be used in ways
that we don't approve of, but that's one of the dangers of education
and knowledge.
