On day two, there were three rounds of voting where SNAC members could vote for their top 20 measures out of the 31 that remained. In round one, SNAC members voted for their top 10 measures; in round two their next 5 measures; and in round three their last 5 measures respectively. Measures voted for in the first round received 3 points per vote, measures voted for in the second round received 2 points per vote, and measures voted for in the third round received 1 point per vote. The Priority Score represents the total points assigned to that measure by SNAC members after three rounds of voting.Return to Document Current as of January 2010 Internet Citation: Table 1.
