Hi,
voting through the lir portal, great idea. (first on the agenda, the correction of 2007-01)..
Could you clarify what you want electronic voting for?
The policy development process? Which doesn't have any voting at the moment, it is a consensus-based approach on open mailing lists -- please read the link that Andy Davidson sent around earlier for more information.
Or the General Meeting where decisions are made relating to the RIPE NCC? (Voting on the RIPE NCC executive board, accepting the charging scheme and budget, etc.)
Budgets, charging schemes, etc. If a vote is called for at an AGM and 50 out of 5000 people vote, there should be the ability to submit ones vote via the LIR Portal as well. It is called democracy. -Hank
The former is a major change to policy development, the latter is something that comes up periodically.
