RFD: informal proposal

[Raul Miller <moth@debian.org>]

This is an informal request for discussion about how to handle quorum
and supermajority requirements.

Quorum is a ballot requirement -- all options on the ballot must have
the same quorum requirement.

However, supermajority is an option requirement -- different options
might have different supermajority requirements.

So.. how does this sound:

Group options according to their supermajority requirements -- all
options with the same supermajority requirement go in the same group.

Use CpSSD to pick a winning candidate from within each group.

Use CpSSD with scaled preferences to pick a winner from the set of
winning candidates.

Default the election if the picked winner didn't meet quorum.

Does anyone see any significant strategies for inconsistency with this
kind of mechanism?

Thanks,
