Comment (by karsten): Here's another suggestion for the voting policy. I suggest we replace: {{{ * The secretary cannot cast a vote. However, in the case of a tie they act as the tie breaker. }}} with: {{{ * The secretary can cast a vote, if they wish to, by sending it to the proposer before starting the vote for everyone. }}} The main reason for this change is that whenever there's a tie and the secretary acts as tie breaker, the secretary's vote will not be secret as opposed to all other votes. Because, if the secretary voted and there's a vote result that was decided by a single vote, that's the secretary's vote. If we make this change, we won't be able to resolve ties anymore. If two or more proposal receive the exact same number of votes, none of them wins. The requirement to send the vote to the proposer before starting the vote ensures that the secretary cannot change their opinion in the middle of the vote. Of course, the proposer would have to keep the secretary's vote secret as much as the secretary has to keep all other votes secret. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/22079#comment:15> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
