Voting With Dots - This page is a compilation of a discussion thread on multi-voting. Its source is an email discussion group on facilitation in which I'm a participant. (You'll see my contribution in the section on "Caveats and warnings.") Despite my concern regarding the use of democracy over logic in the realm of problem solving and my preference for digging down into a rigorous analysis of what to change, the conversation does have a lot of good stuff. I particularly like the use of "voting with dots" to bring out disparate views of the situation by highlighting single dot choices. This use could be a good way of soliciting "yes, buts" as the outlier votes are discussed. Comments? -- fp
