I'm quite haépy to handle secret voting in another GR. :)

Perahaps this exposes a distinction between those of you who have spent
a lot of time thinking about these issues recently and feel that they
all more or less are part of the same whole, and others of us who are
trying to follow along relatively casually knowing we'll be asked to 
vote at some point?

I'm pretty confident we can collectively figure out how to vote
meaningfully in either case, but I'd personally prefer to see secret
voting treated as a separate GR with opportunities for significant
consensus building before a vote is called.

Hi Holger,

Sorry if it seemed (as I'm one of the drafters of the secret ballot and
Russ' proposal, I feel a bit responsible for this) that there was an
attempt to hijack anything.

A bit of context:

When the GR about RMS occurred, I expressed my intent to have some
changes made to the Constitution, in particular regarding secret
voting. Russ reacted because he had also things in his mind he wanted to
see become more concrete and we started a discussion that took quite
some time at a time when I was a bit more available. Sam joined us in
the discussion and Wouter also at some point recently.

Then, and I'm at fault I think (because I got drowned in my personal
life stuff and did not state it clearly to Sam and Russ), things kind of
went under the dust until we attempted to resume.

In the meantime, it became clear that proposing Secret Voting and the
other changes was not going to be easy because it made quite a lot. So
Russ went on with everything except Secret Voting.

Then, we realized that we could probably add Secret voting (if it felt
right to everyone) as the discussion on Russ' proposal didn't go in a
too consuming spiral.

Russ said he was not against the idea.

Hence Sam's mail, which, despite what it could have inspired to you, is
not an attempt to hijack or piggyback any work made by Russ or anyone
else.

I hope this helps.

Cheers! :)
