Thank you Lester for expressing that view. I am not really sure about anonymous voting myself. I can understand that anonymous voting is a good idea *during the voting phase* but I am strongly against withholding the names of the voters as well as their vote *after the voting ends*. In any case I'm sure that this is something that affects the whole RFC-Process and should be put up in a separate RFC and not just be implemented "en passant" in a few lines of code. And In my eyes, as it's a change to the RFC-Process it shoud need a 2/3rd majority. Just my 2 cent. Cheers Andreas PS: If there's no one else I would try to set up the RFC but would be very gratefull to have someone mentor me there. > -- ,,, (o o) +---------------------------------------------------------ooO-(_)-Ooo-+ | Andreas Heigl | | mailto:andreas@heigl.org N 50°22'59.5" E 08°23'58" | | http://andreas.heigl.org http://hei.gl/wiFKy7 | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | http://hei.gl/root-ca | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+
