Ballot for declassifying parts of -private of historical interest
Hi,
I've prepared a ballot for the upcomming GR. It contains some new
sections and I hope it's more clear than the previous ones.
I'm looking for feedback.
Kurt

The following ballot is for voting on declassifying parts of -private of
historical interest.
This vote is being conducted as required by the Debian Constitution.
You may see the constitution at https://www.debian.org/devel/constitution.
For voting questions or problems contact secretary@debian.org.
The details of the general resolution can be found at:
https://www.debian.org/vote/2016/vote_002

the vote by sending a signed mail to
ballot@vote.debian.org
with the subject "gr_private".
To vote you need to be a Debian Developer.
BALLOT OPTIONS
Choise 1: Allow declassifying parts of debian-private
=====================================================
Title: Declassifying parts of -private of historical interest
1. The 2005 General Resolution titled "Declassification of debian-private
list archives" is repealed.
2. Debian listmasters and/or other individuals delegated by the DPL to
do so are authorized to declassify excerpts of -private of historical
interest by any process which at minimum provides sufficient time and
opportunity for Debian Developers to object by GR prior to
declassification.
3. In keeping with paragraph 3 of the Debian Social Contract, Debian
Developers are strongly encouraged to use the debian-private mailing
list only for discussions that should not be disclosed.
Choise 2: Further Discussion
============================
This is the default option. Rank this option higher than the unacceptable
choices.
HOW TO VOTE
To cast a vote, it is necessary to send this ballot filled out to a
dedicated e-mail address, in a signed message, as described below.
The dedicated email address this ballot should be sent to is:
gr_private@vote.debian.org
The form you need to fill out is contained at the bottom of this
message, marked with two lines containing the characters
'-=-=-=-=-=-'. Do not erase anything between those lines, and do not
change the choice names.
There are 2 choices in the form, which you may rank with numbers between
1 and 2. In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1.
Place a 2 in the brackets next to your next choice. Continue until you
reach your last choice. Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger
than 2.
You may skip numbers, leave some choices unranked, and rank options
equally. Unranked choices are considered equally the least desired
choices, and ranked below all ranked choices.
To vote "no, no matter what", rank "Further Discussion" as more desirable
than the unacceptable choices, or you may rank the "Further Discussion"
choice and leave choices you consider unacceptable blank. (Note: if the
"Further Discussion" choice is unranked, then it is equal to all other
unranked choices, if any -- no special consideration is given to the
"Further Discussion" choice by the voting software).
Finally, mail the filled out ballot to: gr_private@vote.debian.org.
Don't worry about spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">") that
your reply inserts.
NOTE: The vote must be GPG signed (or PGP signed) with your key that is
in the Debian keyring. You may, if you wish, choose to send a signed,
encrypted ballot: use the vote key appended below for encryption.
The voting software (Devotee) accepts mail that either contains only an
unmangled OpenPGP message (RFC 2440 compliant), or a PGP/MIME mail
(RFC 3156 compliant). To avoid problems I suggest you use PGP/MIME.
VOTING SECRECY
This is a non-secret vote. After the voting period is over the details on
who voted what will be published. During the vote itself the only
information that will be published is who voted.
You can encrypt your message to the voting system to keep your vote secret
until the end of the voting period. The software will also try to keep
your vote secret and will encrypt the reply it sends to you.
