 Suppose that you would not run for DPL: Who would you vote and why?

Hi Alexander,

I would vote for Stefano, because the impressive determination he puts in his
RC-bug of the day marathon suggest that he would do a lot of work as a DPL.
In second, I would vote for Margarita, because I would be pleased to be proven
wrong by her approach that favors inspirational over institutional actions. In
third, I would vote for Wouter.

Have a nice day,

 I think the better phrasing for the original question would be:
 
 List reasons why the other candidates would make a good DPL.
 
 This question does not ask you to divulge your potential vote - unless
 you can find good reasons for only one candidate :)

Indeed, this version of the question is fair because, in essence, it
asks what do we think of other candidates _proposals_ rather then what
do we think personally of them. *But* :-) , I believe that I've already
addressed this in my rebuttals where, for each candidate, I've not only
mentioned my objections to their proposals, but also which among their
proposals I do like.  I do not claim to have reviewed all proposals of
all other candidates, but I've surely mentioned the one I considered
most peculiar in the other platforms.

If someone seeks a specific comment of mine on some specific proposals
of the other candidates, which I haven't addressed in my rebuttals, I'll
be more than happy to post such a comment, but please be specific.

Cheers.

Question to all Candidates: Who would you vote for?

2010-03-24 Thread Alexander Reichle-Schmehl

Hi!

The following question is optional, as it discloses private information, 
so feel free not to answer it.  But non the less, I'm curious and would 
appreciate, if you would be willing to answer.  So here it goes:



Suppose that you would not run for DPL: Who would you vote and why?



Best regards,
  Alexander

So, I apologize, but I'm not going to disclose my leader vote in public.

I believe that there is a good reason for having secret votes in leader
elections (constitution §5.2.2), namely: knowing how you did vote for or
against a fellow DD can get personal. Even if I personally don't think
to be much affected by that: (1) I can't be sure and (2) I don't want to
take the risk to inflict that to the other candidates.

The why part of your question is way more interesting, but I believe
it can be answered by rather asking candidates how much they like
specific proposals of the other candidates and why. The rebuttals are a
first step in that direction; if mine are not enough, I generally
welcome questions on proposals of the other candidates that I've not
specifically addressed in my rebuttals.

I hope nobody will hold this against me.
Cheers.

I was actually going to reply, but after reading zack's answer, I
agree it's best not to give out the details.  In any case, I do have
an answer:

I would, and will, vote for all of them.  I won't disclose the
particular order, but they'll all be above NOTA.

I have a habit of publically (on my blog) disclosing my DPL vote, with
explanation, and will probably do so again this year (though that is not
by any means certain).

However, as I did last time when I ran for DPL, I will not disclose my
vote before voting is over. The reason for this is simple:

First, I don't finalize my thoughts on how to vote before campaigning is
over. I think that's only fair; there might be something that pops up
during campaigning that makes me think twice about voting for some
candidate, even though I very much like a given candidate or his/her
platform. Or, on the contrary, a candidate might have a poor platform
but convince me during campaigning. As such, I cannot disclose my vote
until I actually cast it, because I could (and often do) change my vote
fairly last-minute.

Second, during the vote campainging is supposed to be over, so it would
not be proper for me to to then disclose and comment on my vote if I'm
running myself.
