Open voting?



Friends,

Arnold suggested that we might reduce the volume of traffic on this alias by
having the voting done elsewhere.  I see three possibilities:

1. As now, public to stds-1788@xxxxxxx
      + Transparent - Everyone sees all votes
      + Implicitly reminds all to vote
      - Adds traffic to alias
      - Some might prefer to vote more privately
2. Send to an alias including only registered Voting Members
      + Transparent - Voters see all votes
      + Implicitly reminds voters to vote
      - Looses transparency for non-voting members
      - Some might prefer to vote more privately
3. Send private email to me
   Those wishing to cast public NO votes could
      + Reduces email traffic
      - I WILL broadcast more frequent reminders
      - Lacks transparency

This is an informal poll, not an official vote.
If you have an opinion, please either
   public to stds-1788@xxxxxxx
Or
   privately to George.Corliss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

NO CHANGE GOES INTO EFFECT FOR A WHILE.


Personally, I think #3 violates our Policies and Procedures requirement of
transparency, but I think #2 would be OK, if the volume is a problem for
many.
