I wonder how many other people like me found they couldn't vote despite registering keys? I bet there were people disenfranchised by that key system, I saw other e-mails to that effect.
I think as a community we need to understand whether there was interest in the election or if the application kept folks from casting their ballots before folks get wound up about the numbers. I would like to suggest something regarding the casting of ballots for the recent election and changes to the constitution. The system allows the administrator to see whether or not a core contributor registered a key within the voting time frame. We should then try to determine if a core contributor submitted a key and tried to vote and could not or if they changed their mind about casting a vote (unlikely). If it is that they could not cast their ballots due to the system then that needs to be addressed. Perhaps extending the time to those persons and offer a less complex way to vote. In summary, I am suggestion a re-ballot (extend it for 7 days) for core contributors that could not submit their ballots. ### -- Terri Molini Sun Microsystems, Inc.
