I would prefer that the voting use the Australian system, in which people rank the choices, and the computer does automatic runoffs. This system gives people incentives to vote for good situations, rather than simply against bad ones.

Also, I think the duration of the Institute should be until its mission is accomplished, as determined by a referendum.

I understand that this may seem like nit-picking, and it is, but if the organization gets at all large, these will eventually be very important.

Pity, that this had to turn into a farce. [angry]

Oh, does that mean I get a vote in the American presidential elections next time round?

Read, vote yes and get it out of the way. When you're a legitimate organization in the (ossified) eyes of the law, there are certain ways things have to be done.

The Constitution has taken quite some time to bring to fruition, but I think it has been worth it.
The document has been revised a number of times by many talented individuals. I'll try to list a few here, (let me know if I've forgotten you):

Thanks to Caliban, Reason, Lazarus Long, thefirstimmortal, Mind, Michael Anissimov, Kevin Perrott, Chestnut, (breath) Chubtoad, Jace Tropic and others for your help.

I confess, that I do not entirely approve of this Constitution at present, but despite these sentiments, I agree to this Constitution, with all its faults-if they be such, because I doubt whether any other Convention we can obtain, may be able to make a better constitution because when you assemble a number of men, to have the advantage of their joint wisdom, you inevitably assemble with those men all their prejudices, their passions, their errors of opinion, their personal interests, and their selfish views. From such an assembly can a perfect production be expected? It therefore astonishes me to find this Constitution approaching so near to perfection as it has.

I consent to this Constitution, because I expect no better, and because I am not sure that it is not the best. I vote YES
