Given that it is now after the close of trading on August 31, I would
submit that a reversal of this decision by either Andrew or Lynn would
do more harm than good.

I will refrain from expressing an opinion except to say that it's Andrew's
decision as far as I'm concerned.

Not being perturbed by this, I haven't felt the need to comment, but now I will :


I think it's Andrew's decision and his decision making so far does not bother me. (To be clear, that's a
WFM on the reset.)


I suspect that others have also not felt the need to comment, so I don't feel that the overwhelming consensus
claimed above exists in fact.

From Andrew's note that triggered all of this I see that he sent the
list of the volunteers to the Secretariat. If we could have someone
from the Secretariat provide a copy of that email independent of
Andrew and verify it was submitted to them prior to the selection date
that should resolve Eliot's issue. Eliot?


Yes, that would have resolved my issue nicely.  But I am equally

Yes, that would have resolved my issue nicely.  But I am equally
satisfied with rerunning the selection algorithm.

I believe there were some mail delivery glitches at the Secretariat on the day in question, so this might not have been completely straightforward.

Brian,
I don't know about others, but I'd like to hear a little more
about your reasoning (and Andrew's) about this.   It seems to me
that drawing a second sample would be unbiased if the decision
to draw it were made before anyone knew the contents of the
first sample.

I was much more concerned about the failure to announce the volunteer list before the relevant market closing than about the presence of an ineligible name. I don't see how one can remove the theoretical presence of bias unless the list is announced in advance. I completely agree that an extra name in the list doesn't create bias.

Brian, the fact that Andrew Cc'ed you on the issue was (IMO) not a good idea in the first place,

He didn't. It was a person who noticed the anomaly who cc'ed me.

but given that your position is one of those being selected, the fact that you expressed an opinion at all was phenomenally irresponsible.

I disagree. My concern was to ensure that there is neither bias nor appearance of potential bias in the process. I believe it would have been irresponsible not to.

Now, in addition to questions about Andrew's motivations for doing the reset (the theoretical "Did he want a 'do-over' because he didn't like the outcome?"), we also have to contend with whether *you* influenced the process deliberately because *you* didn't like the outcome. Unbelievably ill-advised on your part.

Actually, I don't recall even looking at the list of selected volunteers.

    Brian
