Just for clarification, please. When you say voting is secret for ASF members and Board members, that there is a way to ensure only eligible voters cast at most one ballot, but the voters are not identified? That is, it is not known who voted and what their vote was?
That is generally what is meant by a secret ballot. A private ballot is one where the participants know what votes were cast (as in the case of a committer vote on a private list) but the individual votes are not available generally, although the vote can be audited by authorities having oversight (as in the committer vote case). - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: sebb [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2012 02:49 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [DISCUSS][PMC] Proposed PMC List [ ... ] ASF members are nominated on the members list (and in members-only files).
