Hi again!
Since yesterday, we got 3 more votes/opinions on how to conduct WDDM
Board elections: 1 on the site for secret ballot (with option to disclose
afterwards), and 2 by e-mail for open vote. So it's now 3 votes for open
vote, to 4 for secret vote (3.5 for secret and 3.5 for open if you want).
So that's no consensus at all. According to the consensus-based simple
initial rules I was advocating two years ago at WDDM relaunch, we should
now wait and continue discussion until better consensus is reached.
But this charter/board business has been already dragging long enough.
So what do you say to the following compromise: Let's use both methods for
this election. Those who prefer open vote may send in their vote by e-mail
(as Filia and Jiri more or less have already done), and those who prefer
the secret ballot could do it on the voting page on the WDDM site (for
this hybrid case I would not scramble voter IDs in the voting database to
make sure somebody does not vote both by e-mail and on the site).
If you agree with this, no action is needed. You need to reply only if
you object a hybrid vote. I'll wait for another day to see if there are
any objections.
