I'd like to suggest that the summary of the BoD vote as exemplified below be slightly changed to included nominative informations relative the the vote.
In a representative democratic system, like it is the case here, where the BoD represent the Board of Trustee, It is important that the represented body can evaluate how it is being represented by each candidate it designated to do so, in order to be able to make and educated decision during the following election. Certainly today such information is mostly available in the ML by parsing the individual +1, or by listeneing to the recording of the Bod meeting and again extracting the vote from there... but that is quite a time consuming an error prone process, and surely we want the acces to information to the Board of Trustee to be as low as possible, so that the Board of Trustee can make the most informed decision as possible. So I would recommend that future summary recorded Vote by the BoD include the name associated with the vote. I edited the example below with fictional names as an example. This is just an example, and I'll be satisfied with any variations one may prefer that fulfill the goal : nominative voting record :-) On Fri, Dec 21, 2012 at 7:03 AM, Florian Effenberger <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > The Board of Directors at the time of voting consists of 7 seat holders > without deputies.

Norbert PS: 'private decisions', if any, should be the object of the same summary vote and posted in the BoD private list as the decision is made, and forwarded to the BoD-disucss list as soon as the rational for the 'private' status become moot.
