> Notable are the endorsements, which are balanced over all three options...

I don't think this is notable. The process requires five seconders, so you're just seeing the set of people who seconded asynchronously before there were obviously enough that others didn't bother. The culture is to avoid unnecessary noise and leave it for the vote.

A bit of topic, but does the word "seconded" still work when five are required? Isn't there a more generic term?

  • Depends on your rules of order. Under Robert's you can have multiple seconds but seconds aren't recorded. In model UN there are multiple seconds. Second'ing a motion is not generally an endorsement per se, it's just saying you support a vote on the matter.
