I read the cited paragraph as exactly that: The votes of DDs in the election for the members of the social ctte will be made public. I agree that the internal soc ctte votes are a different thing; but as I understood it, they are not the topic of that paragraph. So it is exactly about "voting for a human who might have his feelings hurt". And it is all about possibly voting differently while the public is looking over your shoulder. I just don't see, how that will help to get a better soc ctte. > > Why not some kind of "draft resolutions and amendments, and votes by > > members of the committee, are made public on the Social Committee > > public discussion list.
