feel... ;-)
I have an option that I believe will handle Andrea's concerns. I have
spoken with Ross and he is amenable to receiving Proposed PMC entries
off list.
If anyone is concerned about sending their list to ooo-dev, you can send
it to Ross ( rgardler at apache) instead, and at the end of the period
(next Sunday), he will send an anonymized summary of the votes he has
received, along with a breakdown of submissions by committers/PPMC vs
other community members.
We have received lists from 10 people and have 25 nominees with multiple
votes. It would be great to get even more feedback.

It seems that the process is working quite well, and that we are on
the right way to bootstrap a PMC by consensus.
I surely don't want to block the current process, but I wonder if
allowing people to "vote" (actually, express preferences) anonymously
would be better for some volunteers/cultures. Our mentors have often
stated that we have secure voting solutions available, but maybe this
is overkill and time-consuming, and it would be enough to allow people
to send their lists to a mentor (if available), who would repost them
here.
It is not an issue that I feel personally: it's OK for me to continue
with public messages on ooo-dev. But it could be that others have
problems, and in that case I'd encourage them to speak up so that we
can find a way to ensure that everyone can express their opinions.
Regards,
Andrea.
