Your voting key for this issue: [hashid]

In order to vote, either visit

   https://vote.apache.org/cast/[issue_name]/[hashid]

or use ssh to login to [hostname] and then run

   /home/voter/bin/vote [issue_name] [hashid] "vote"
[is type "yna"]
where "vote" must be replaced by "yes", "no", or "abstain".
[else][is type "stv"]
where "vote" must be replaced by a single word containing the
concatenated labels of candidates in the order that you wish them
to be selected.  In other words, if you want to vote for the candidates
labeled [[]x], [[]s], and [[]p], in that order, then your vote should be "xsp".

This election will be decided according to the Single Transferable Vote
rules described at

   http://wiki.apache.org/general/BoardVoting
   http://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/votingsystems/stvi.htm
   http://www.cix.co.uk/~rosenstiel/stvrules/index.htm

for an election with [selector] open slots. 

You have one vote.  Use your vote by entering the label of your
first preference candidate followed by, if desired, the label of your
second preference candidate, and so on until you are indifferent about
the remaining candidates.  The sequence of your preferences is crucial.
You should continue to express preferences only as long as you are able
to place successive candidates in order.  A later preference is considered
only if an earlier preference has a surplus above the quota required for
election, or is excluded because of insufficient support.  Under no
circumstances will a later preference count against an earlier preference.

You may list as many candidates as you wish, but no more than once per
vote (e.g., "xsxp" would be rejected).
[else]
where "vote" must be replaced by a single word containing the
concatenated labels of your [selector] choices.  In other words,
if you want to vote for the candidates labeled [[]x], [[]s], and [[]p],
then your vote should be "xsp" (order does not matter).
[end][end]
If for some reason you are unable to use ssh to access [hostname],
then you can vote by proxy: simply send your voting key to some
person with ssh access that you trust, preferably with instructions
on how you wish them to place your vote.

For verification purposes, you will be receiving an e-mail notification
each time your voting key is used.  Repeat votes will be considered
a complete replacement of your prior vote.  Your vote will be
recorded in a tally file and sent to the vote monitors along with
a different unique key, minimizing the chance that the contents of
your vote will be accidentally seen by someone else while associated
to you.  That is why the verification e-mail will only state that you
have voted, rather than including how you voted.

If you have any problems or questions, send a reply to the vote monitors
