I think what Niki and tom were also saying was that they "look at the votes, but that didn’t make the decision, but contribute."
This is how track chairs tend to use the voting data, in my experience, and it makes sense to me.

Hello Stefano,
"I always considered the voting process as a marketing tool for the event, a community ritual, a celebration of openstack community as a whole and not something that the selection committee should use. I find looking at votes extremely unfair to the submitters and diminishing of the selection committee's role, too. IMO a good committee should evaluate based on quality of content relative to the objectives for that specific summit (overall focus, location), and totally ignore the popularity of their proposers (or their employees)."
While I agree with you on some of the points, ignoring voting would essentially remove community from providing any input into the selection. Are you suggesting getting rid of voting all together?
I don’t think this is at all what Stef was suggesting. In the storage track we would look at the votes, but that didn’t make the decision, but contribute.
There are some talks you just have to use common sense. For example, if you have 500 something votes, but the average talk got around 50 votes, that’s just something weird going on, and I don’t appreciate that.
