I'm wondering what it would take to make the voting tool be able to help
out the specs council? Like other votes, some of the challenges are
sifting through an email thread collecting votes, getting people to
realize that they're supposed to vote in a certain thread and mixing the
input between the community and council members. What I'd propose is
that we add the ability to vote on proposals to the voting tool in such
a way where anyone (including non-members) can vote though the results
are displayed split up between the council member votes and the wider
community votes (a bit like how the US election has the popular vote and
the electoral vote). Ideally this would be extended to the final
approval vote as well so that anyone could vote but only the votes from
Foundation members would be counted.
Who should I work with to make this happen? Other ideas on how this
should work?
It was my understanding that the specs council vote was essentially a
recommendation to the community on how to vote, so it seems like the
specs council vote ought to happen first, rather than in parallel with
the community vote.
Displaying the specs council result on the voting page for the community
vote would be good, though. I assume that right now that could be done
less elegantly by simply including the specs council result in the text
that introduces the vote.
