I too support the mechanism to achieve it but not the permanence, without consultation with the full project. We should be mindful that a change to the foundation documents to make future votes secret would require a 3:1 majority, and I think it would look odd to outsiders that we've just decided the rules don't apply to this vote. Given the anticipated GR on future secret ballots and the ability for 2K developers to override the DPL anyway, 90 days should be sufficient to achieve a consensus. So I suggest the DPL directs under s5.1 something like: "The secretary shall delay publication of the the association between identify and ballot on the tally sheet, for a period of not more than 90 days, unless directed otherwise by a General Resolution of the Developers." A GR about future secret ballots should make provision for how to apply it retrospectively to this one. This preserves the 3:1 requirement that there would have been were it being decided in advance. (I'm conscious about the extra work this creates for the secretary. Kurt, I really appreciate how you're handling all this and I'm sorry to be asking for more complexity.) -- Jonathan Wiltshire jmw@debian.org Debian Developer http://people.debian.org/~jmw 4096R: 0xD3524C51 / 0A55 B7C5 1223 3942 86EC 74C3 5394 479D D352 4C51
