Harborco Rules: Voting
Three formal scheduled rounds of voting by secret ballot
15 minutes, 40 minutes, and 75 minutes into discussion
Time limits will be strictly enforced.
The FLA Rep (played by Caneel or Alex) will come to take your ballots.
Harborco makes proposals for formal votes (one option per issue)
Though other members may make proposals for straw votes at any point
If Harborco cannot decide in time for the scheduled vote, your group will vote on
Harborcos initial proposal
When a proposal is passed (min 5 Yes votes) the vote is binding
Your team can then negotiate on improvements (require unanimous support)
If your team has not approved a proposal by the end of negotiations,
the FLA will reject Harborco's application

STEP 1. Enter the Final Proposal being put up for
vote, using the number given for each option (For
example, for issue A: Industry Mix, you would enter
a "1" for "primarily dirty", a "2" for "clean/dirty", and a
"3" for "all clean".)
STEP 2. For the final vote only, circle Y or N beneath each name.
How Voting Works:
There are three scheduled rounds of voting by secret ballot: 15 minutes, 40 minutes, and 75 minutes into discussion. Time limits will be strictly enforced. The FLA Rep (played
by Caneel or Alex) will come to take your ballots.
For each round, Harborco makes the proposal (containing one option for each issue). If Harborco can not decide on a complete proposal in time for the scheduled voting
round, then FLA will require that your group votes on the initial proposal put forth by Harborco at the beginning of the negotiation. (Other members of the group may make
proposals for straw votes at any point, but only Harborco can make proposals for formal voting rounds.)
If a proposal is passed in any round (meaning it receives at least five Yes votes), then the votes is binding. From that point forward, your team can negotiate on improvements
to this proposal. If such improvements receive unanimous support in the final round of voting, they wil be incorproated into teh final agreement (please describe only these
agreemetns in the space below once they have been unanimously supported). If they do not have unanimous support, then the initially approved proposal stands.

Many Pareto Efficient Solutions
In general, when reservation prices are relatively high, as
in this case, there are few suboptimal solutions in multi-
party, multi-issue situations
55 possible agreements
9 with consensus
Only 4 that were Pareto inefficient

What was your strategy?
Harborco
Did you just reach your minimum for the deal? Why
did you not claim more value?
Did you manage to get more points for yourself? How
did you do it?
DRC
Did you give $3 million? (This is rare) If so, how did
this happen?
Dr. Caneel Joyce
Executive Summer School
20
What was your strategy?
Ports
Did you vote No on the deal that went through, even though you
got nothing? Why?
Did you vote Yes? Why?
Did you kill the deal? How?
Did anybody try to form coalitions? Which roles?
Unions, the government, and even environment can pretty easily
be given a deal that generates more points than their RPs
For this reason they are unlikely to stay with a coalition

Dr. Caneel Joyce
Executive Summer School
21
What was the effect of having to vote?
Harborco: what was more effective in helping you
understand the other parties positions on the issues -
discussion or voting?
Under what circumstances would voting provide the most
information about positions on issues?
If parties are forthcoming with positions and interests,
can you dispense with voting? What would you lose?
Voting forces negotiators to:
Link issues
Consider alternative multi-issue proposals

Strategies and Tactics for
Negotiating in Groups
Mutual
Strategy
Share own interests and
elicit others interests
Consider many
alternatives; be creative;
seek ways to use available
resources
Dont just compromise;
make tradeoffs
Encourage positive
relations
Coalitional
Strategy
Seek similar others and
construct an alternative
that meets your collective
interests
Recruit just enough
members to control the
groups decision
Encourage interpersonal
obligations among
coalition members
Individual
Strategy
Open with a high, but not
outrageously high demand
Argue the merits of your
alternative; do not reveal
your interests
Appear unable or unwilling
to concede
Use threats, deadlines,
and promises if necessary
Encourage positive
relations

How can you apply lessons from
Harborco to running meetings?
Learning points:
(1) fragility of coalitions
(2) need to get on the bandwagon when you can no
longer maintain a blocking coalition
(3) be careful in leading such a group that you do not
take all the concessions out of your own value
(4) link issues in proposals rather than voting on one
issue at a time.
