More criteria may be suggested on this topic. Each editor has the right to change their vote, but only until the deadline of the voting. Discussions about the criteria may be made on this topic. The voting will be adjusted if new options are suggested. An editor may skip a criteria if they do not have a strong opinion on it.

C9 has also advised using a score-based system. The main voting will continue so that we would have at least one system ready to be used, but discussions about C9's suggestion can be made as an alternative system for affiliations.
