Hi,
Would this vote be secret? In some situation, I'd rather not vote than
having my vote disclosed. I'm very much OK for the secretary to see what
I voted for though.
Going further, someone in the NMC may have his vote influenced by how it
would be received by the community. I wouldn't do that, again, I'd
prefer not voting at all, but that's just me...
Thoughts anyone?
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
