I recommend that the process continue. My only objection is that having
secret nominations is not compatible with the Apache Way ...
I recommend that no one accept nominations privately and that those who
have already sent theirs via any back-channel use ooo-private
OK. The important thing is that the process can continue. It might well
be that nobody prefers to state his preferences in private (meaning:
somewhere else than ooo-dev): as I wrote, it was not a personal concern,
I just wondered if allowing it would increase participation in this
nomination phase (and at the same time I encouraged those, if any, who
preferred secret nominations/lists to speak up, and nobody did so far,
which probably means I was simply wrong and everybody is fine with
public nominations/lists).
+1 (Even if I see no point on hiding the vote).
I was going to answer that secret ballot is a basic principle, but
indeed, now that I think about it, it might be that there is no such
thing as a "secret ballot" in the Apache way, at least for normal
operations... http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html does not
mention this possibility. Good to know. But we can come back to this at
a later stage and let the current nomination phase continue.
