Martin,
Votes can be done as PGP signed e-mails. These e-mails can be published on web site or sent to all interesting people via e-mail. So everyone can check their votes are counted right. As anybody can check PGP signs, it is not a problem voting through RIPE NCC web site.
P.S. Remember the board elections: people put ballots inside a hat, then a few guys went out with the hat, did something (probably counted ballots) and said the result. So the current voting system already not better than voting through the LIR portal ;)
Well, they didn't leave. They were in the back of the room.
But yes, any online voting system will
a) give more people a chance to vote
and
b) be more precise
I just stated by personal preference and reasoning. Do what you want from there :) I know what I'm voting for, if it comes up to a vote.
Problem is it will probably brought for a vote at the next AGM where it will be defeated since the 50 LIRs who attend probably won't want their vote diluted by the unwashed masses. -Hank
