Final voting in language pairs that received 3-7 entries will start soon. The system to be implemented in final voting is the same as the one for the last contest with the addition of the like and dislike tagging. Please see http://www.proz.com/topic/102761

Before final voting starts in those pairs, I'd like to receive your opinion on the following options:

a) final voting should be open to those who are native in the target language and work or expressed interest in the same language pair they wish to vote.

b) final voting should be open only to those who are native in the target language and work in the same language pair they wish to vote.

c) final voting should be open to those who work in the same language pair they wish to vote.

Please, simply indicate "a", "b" or "c".


Thanks

I vote b Jun 12, 2008

"shows interest in" (a) is too vague.

b) Jun 12, 2008

Without hesitation: b) To be native in the target language and to work in the language pair you wish to vote is the best mix of all.
