I propose a ballot option for the GR
"Hide Identities of Developers Casting a Particular Vote"
that makes the following changes to the constitution.

1) Do not make the identity of a voter casting a particular vote public.

6) Codify that our election system must permit independent verification
of the outcome given the votes cast and must permit developers to
confirm their vote is included in the votes cast.

So it's the proposed GR minus the changes
not directly related to introducing secret votes.

I ask for seconds aka sponsors for this Option.

Rationale
=========

Give the opportunity to vote for secret voting without needing to
additionally vote for unrelated/only slightly related
constitution changes;
for example for the change of mode of voting
from email to something not defined.

As it was mentioned in the discussion,
there might be no consensus on which options are direcly related -
This option regards the need to allow verification (6))
as directly related to secret votes, because otherwise
they would become completely unverifiable.

Summary of Changes
==================

1) Do not make the identity of a voter casting a particular vote
public.

6) Codify that our election system must permit independent verification
of the outcome given the votes cast and must permit developers to
confirm their vote is included in the votes cast.
