[members-discuss] Voting for RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2024

Hi,

Whatever is said about fairness of the voting Option A
is strongly preferred. 

To minimize the chance of winning option A people 
should not marked it as preferred AND mark as preferred
ALL Options B,C,D in whatever preference they want.

In contrast, if people want Option A to win they shall simply marked it
without taking care of other options.

Best regards,

Jerzy Pawlus


P.S. Disclaimer: I do not express my opinion I only care about the
                 the fairness of the voting system.
