Re: [council] The Way Forward - Choices

[HiroHOTTA <h.hotta@hco.ntt.co.jp>]

Dennis and All,

I'm not a lawyer, so my opinion here is what I myself think 
is most reasonable.

My option is 2.
I think we should backtrack to the most recent point where 
process can be proven(shown) to be valid. This, I think, is 
"the end of voting in round 1" with correcting the vote which 
was miscounted.

Option 1 seems to be logically strange because it purges a 
round which can be validly counted. If validly countable 
round is purged, all the election so far should be purged....
which I cannot accept because of the waste of time end effort.

Thus, my second option is 3. Although some good faith vote 
would be discarded, this situation would be logically 
consistent. 

Regards,
Hiro
