Thanks Anna and Vaclav for your comments.
I believe the principles used to make the list are neat and sound. I do
not see the need to complicate things more in the future.
Anna, I agree, someone that may be contributed a little long ago may not
be interested or involved in the project today. How large the proportion
was? I do not know for sure but from the numbers I estimate it in the
order of 60, or 40% of the list.
Vaclav, I agree, although the list is not secret its only appropriate to
talk publicly in terms of aggregates. Also all votes are encrypted:
neither the CRO nor anyone can see who voted for whom.
As I wrote before, I see no major problems. My thoughts about
improvements are mostly within the CRO role, like making communication
more clear on how to opt out or the times for start of the election, etc.
We now have a new PSC full with competent and energic people. As Vero
worte, let's keep growing GRASS !
All good :-)

I'm also happy with the elections and grateful to all who made it
happen, especially Hernán, but Vero, those who nominated, the
candidates, and voters too. However, I do have things I would like to
be different next time, so I'm happy to keep discussing. As far as
the eligible voters:

2) The best part is that we had a list of voters right at the
start,
which Vero had compiled in good time using very clear criteria
for who
was eligible.
The criteria we set up - contribution to a grass repo - will
necessarily include people who have no motivation to vote, they
contributed either a long time ago, just once, they are not
familiar with the community etc. So we can't expect all these
contributors to vote. How large portion would fall into this
group, I don't know.
Importantly, the contributions are not from all history. Vero please
correct me if I'm wrong, but they are only since the last PSC
election. Or the last two? I remember the discussion about that, but
not the exact result. Anyway, this is trying to exclude the inactive
contributors, but it does include the one-time contributors which is
to include the non-frequent contributors.
That said, I don't think we have a better way to create the voters
list unless we go with something much more complicated (like
charter memebers). Is the list of people who voted available? It
could be interesting to analyze it.
I think there might be different expectations on what is private
besides who you voted for. However, CRO has the information already
and doing aggregate statistics or statements to share publicly or
privately with PSC is within expected parameters I would say.
