I support this effort, especially after the heat I've seen in the systemd and RMS GRs, were social dynamics went far beyond the democratic curiosity of polling where people stand, and strong peer pressure was considered a valid mean to an end. I am aware of instances where the vote being public was the major factor that influenced the decision to vote, and the order of options in the ballot, and I find it scary. I am aware of people who for various reasons (that might not be the usual reasons one thinks of) don't enjoy my level of privilege on their online activities and reputation, and I do want their voice to be heard in Debian votes, unfiltered from peer pressure. I like that a number of options have been brainstormed in the discussion: secret ballots, ballots secret on request, ballots public on request, ballots disclosed only to Debian Members, public ballots. I like a GR with a range of options. Thank you for driving this! Enrico -- GPG key: 4096R/634F4BD1E7AD5568 2009-05-08 Enrico Zini <enrico@enricozini.org>
