Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Borda Count

[Robert Heinich (robert]

Does board membership give the member any special powers?

While I please to see that more than one person is running for a board  
position in other communities, with a smallish community (22  
households) like ours using a consensual decision-making, my  
neighbor's input counts the same as mine as VP/Secretary.

So while the Borda Count promotes candidates who are are more broadly  
accepted in a community, is it really necessary if the community uses  
collaborative decision-making?
