1. "Anonymous vote" in my eyes is a vote where no one is and will be
able to get information on who voted what. Never! Ever! The vote is and
will remain anonymous.
2. "Public vote" on the opposite is where everyone knows even during the
voting period who voted how. In Germany there's the so called
"Hammelsprung" where the members of the house vote by passing through
certain doors. One could influence them while queuing up for the door ;)
3. An "Anonymous vote during voting period" vote that is anonymous
during the voting period (so no one can be actively influenced to
changing their vote) but after the voting period is over the vote is
publicly available. So everyone knows who voted what.
Personally I'd opt for version 3 where the vote is *anonymous during the
voting period only*. That way no one can be actively influenced on their
vote. In my eyes that would mean that there is not even available *who*
voted on the RFC to keep even that anonymous whether someone voted or not.
Or did I miss something?
Cheers
Andreas
