And what have I done that is not working like a real secretary? > I can understand that you have an opinion about all GRs that are > proposed, but in your role as Project Secretary, you are supposed to > be apolitical and you shouldn't try to make people's life harder > than it needs to be. More accusation, also unsubstantiated. Can you point to any politically biased action in my official capacity as a secretary that made life harder than it needs to be? Or are you just fanning the flames? Or is this a hypothetical (if so, that does not appear to be the case). > This does *not* mean that you should like a machine, but that you > should, for example, consult someone else if you feel that your > decisions could be influenced by your private opinion.

The issue is not about the being human bit -- the problem is whether the secretary has any discretion on the vote.d.o page (which is not constitutionally mandated, but was initiative to make life easier for the voters). The issue does seem to be whether or not the secretary should be replace by automata. manoj -- Safety Third.
