sun surfer, thank you for the well-explained post. I have condensed your two main points to the below (EDIT: including the suggestion by Kevin8or) and agree to the proposals, especially Number Two.
Number One: Tiered Voting
We could have hidden vote, followed by a runoff vote of the top two choices. EDIT: this was suggested by Kevin8or
Number Two: I Propose A Moratorium On Changes For A Year
So I propose that once the new year starts, there will be no changes until the end of next year at the earliest.
