Hi Holger, Sorry if it seemed (as I'm one of the drafters of the secret ballot and Russ' proposal, I feel a bit responsible for this) that there was an attempt to hijack anything. A bit of context: When the GR about RMS occurred, I expressed my intent to have some changes made to the Constitution, in particular regarding secret voting. Russ reacted because he had also things in his mind he wanted to see become more concrete and we started a discussion that took quite some time at a time when I was a bit more available. Sam joined us in the discussion and Wouter also at some point recently. Then, and I'm at fault I think (because I got drowned in my personal life stuff and did not state it clearly to Sam and Russ), things kind of went under the dust until we attempted to resume. In the meantime, it became clear that proposing Secret Voting and the other changes was not going to be easy because it made quite a lot. So Russ went on with everything except Secret Voting. Then, we realized that we could probably add Secret voting (if it felt right to everyone) as the discussion on Russ' proposal didn't go in a too consuming spiral. Russ said he was not against the idea. Hence Sam's mail, which, despite what it could have inspired to you, is not an attempt to hijack or piggyback any work made by Russ or anyone else. I hope this helps. Cheers! :) -- PEB
