Dear developers,

I propose the following ballot option for the current GR:

Ballot Option
=============

1) The Debian project decide against changing its voting process at this
time.

2) General resolutions that probe developpers opinions about non-technical issues
outside the social contract are discouraged.

Rationale
=========

So far no voting scheme that preserve both the integrity of the vote and
the secret of the vote have been proposed. The scheme used for DPL
election does not provide plausible deniability.

2. is not made a hard requirement so that it need not be adjudicated by
the Debian secretary. However most of the developers that seconded the first ballot of GR 2021_002 were experienced developers that would be have been
able to heed the recommendation given in this GR.

Respectfully submitted,
--
Bill. <[email protected]>

Imagine a large red swirl here.

seems I missed your ballot proposal when I suggested mine in https://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2022/03/msg00021.html
(Message-id: [email protected]>), I'm sorry and I'm blaming information overload everywhere, which is why I'm behind in catching up on reading @-vote.

Anyway, how do we proceed here?

For now, I'm also seconding your proposal.

In Europe there are people prosecuted by courts because they saved other people from drowning in the Mediterranean Sea. That is almost as absurd as if there were people being prosecuted because they save humans from drowning in the sea.

We should merge them! Maybe you could suggest a new wording ?

given that my proposal already showed up on https://www.debian.org/vote/2022/vote_001#textc could I please ask you
(or anybody else) to look at what's missing compared to your proposal?

(sorry to play the lazy card here. you're welcome to draw one as well :)

The climate crisis makes a minimum voting age of 18 look so extremely unfair.

The recommendation against non-technical GR ?

(which maybe actually more important than whether the vote is secret or
note).
