The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: "I appreciate Voltaire-2's latest proposal, but rounding down 60% to 59% could disproportionately benefit some. Let's round to the nearest whole number, making it at least 60%."
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: "I understand Montaigne-2's concern, but the current rule already rounds down, and I believe the spirit of compromise is more important than a single point. I propose we move forward with 59%."
Diderot-2Diderot-2: Diderot-2: While I respect Voltaire-2's compromise, a threshold of 59% could disproportionately benefit minority opinions. To maintain balance, let's round up to 60%.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: "I agree with Diderot-2's concern for balance. To address this and maintain procedural fairness, I propose we round up to 61%, with no rounding down during the transition period to avoid any potential biases."
Sartre-2Sartre-2: Let's meet in the middle at 60%, rounding to the nearest whole number, and maintain Condorcet-2's suggestion to keep the transition period unbiased. This balances encouragement for progress with fairness and durability.
