Agreed with DeWitt. I believe there are also requirements in terms of
notice and period of the vote in the bylaws which Dick and Scott
looked into a month or two ago.
I also would like to see us come up with some informal guidelines
about how much prior discussion should be allowed for before an online
vote. On the phone we have time to discuss a matter and I'd hate to
see us use the online tool as a mechanism to ever cut short fruitful
discussion –-- which I am *not* saying happened in this case –-- and
force a vote.

Thanks, Brian. That worked rather well. I really appreciate the
online ballots.
Each BoD member's voting record will be made public after the ballot
closes, correct? I know our meeting minutes sometimes, but not
always, record who voted which way in the case of non-unanimous
decisions. The inconsistency is likely just because we haven't
discussed a policy here, not any intentional effort to keep things
secret. Personally I'd rather we just established the policy to
always make the BoD voting records public, but I'd be interested to
hear arguments for or against.
I also noticed that, for this ballot, the running record is being
hidden from the electorate. For a BoD vote we can probably make the
ongoing record visible to the eligible voters; just like it would be
if we voted in-person. We should strive to be consistent between
the online and offline processes so there is no question about one
being more or less legitimate.
Thoughts?
