Hi @samj and everyone,
After looking at your careful analysis of the Working Groups (WG) voting results, and after discussing this with @stefano and @Mer, we would like to acknowledge that you are in fact right. This is what Mer had to share:
What happened there was we actually removed negative votes from the process after the Llama 2 group, because we thought it was making the voting process more complicated. It’s really no more than that. So the other WGs (Bloom, Pythia, and OpenCV) did not have the option to cast a negative vote.
We agree that one cannot add the voting numbers from each WG as the same, because they used different methodologies. So from the Llama WG, all -1 votes should be converted to 0. Sam’s analysis is correct.
We would like to acknowledge and apologize for the mistake. Thank you @samj for your detailed analysis.
Kind regards,
Nick
