A voter can cast a vote for as few as one candidate or as many as all candidates on the ballot. However, a voter cannot cast more than one vote per each candidate. # Accepting candidates with the highest number of votes are elected as Directors until all vacant seats are filled. If the last remaining seat(s) are claimed by candidates with equal votes in their favor, a new referendum shall be called where only these candidates stand to fill only the remaining seat(s). This second special referendum shall be resolved within four (4) days and be repeated as necessary until all positions are filled. Accepting candidates with the highest number of votes are elected as Directors. All Directors remain in office until all elections for the coming term have been resolved at which point the Directors whose term has ended and who were not re-elected shall be replaced by the newly elected Directors.

The First Conference on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI-08) March 1-3, 2008 at Memphis, Tennessee, USA Early Registration Deadline: January 31, 2008 Conference Website: http://www.agi-08.org Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) research focuses on the original and ultimate goal of AI --- to create intelligence as a whole. AGI seeks to create software or hardware systems that are "generally intelligent" in roughly the same sense that humans are, rather than being specialized problem-solvers such as most of the systems currently studied in the AI field. Current research in the AGI field is vigorous and diverse, exploring a wide range of possible paths, including theoretical and experimental computer science, cognitive science, neuroscience, and innovative interdisciplinary methodologies. AGI-08 is the very first international conference in this emerging field of science and engineering. The conference is organized with the cooperation of AAAI, and welcomes researchers and students in all relevant disciplines. Different from conventional conferences, AGI-08 is planned to be intensively discussion oriented. All the research papers accepted for publication in the Proceedings (49 papers total) will be available in advance online, so that attendees may arrive prepared to discuss the relevant issues with the authors and each other. The sessions of the conference will be organized to facilitate open and informed intellectual exchange on themes of common interest. Besides the technical discussions, time will also be scheduled at AGI-08 for an exploratory discussion of possible ways to work toward the formation of a more cohesive AGI research community -- including future conferences, publications, organizations, etc. After the two-and-half day conference, there will be a half day workshop on the broader implications of AGI technology, including ethical, sociological and futurological considerations. Yours, Organizing Committee, AGI-08 http://www.agi-08.org/organizing.php |
