One encounters situations of collective- or committee decision-making everywhere in daily life. Judges choosing a beauty queen, a board of managers controlling a company (see Stokman et al. 2000), a jury reaching a verdict over an accused or the papal conclave electing a new pope (Burkle-Young 1999; Colomer and McLean 1988).
