Hello, In every voting process there are people who decide early (knowing the matter very well), have questions to resolve before deciding, decided in random ... and many-many other "types" of people. The democracy is not to force all people to go all the way to the end, but to allow them make their choice according to their believes. Those who need to ask questions and get more information will sit on the GM and ask, listen to, think... Those who had already decided (there are a lot of information before a GM) can vote early. Nobody will be restricted.

What a point of them producing themselves and convincing the voters, if say half of them has already voted. I'm fine with 24 hours vote time but in my opinion there should be no voting before the debate.

25 Jun 2014 19:35 lists-ripe@c4inet.net a vote without debate leaves a bad taste, be it in $parliament or at the NCC AGM. Indeed, it is not far away from a jury delivering a verdict before the evidence has been presented.
Nobody said no debate. At the moment you can vote without listening to the debate, what difference does it make being allowed to do the same the day before? I think it's unreasonable to insist all voters have to sit through it before being allowed to vote at all but if it is necessary (need a vote on that :) then lock the doors, anyone who leaves loses their vote, allow only physical votes. brandon ---- If you don't want to receive emails from the RIPE NCC members-discuss mailing list, please log in to your LIR Portal account and go to the general page: https://lirportal.ripe.net/general/ Click on "Edit my LIR details", under "Subscribed Mailing Lists".
