[atlarge-discuss] Election Management

["J-F C. (Jefsey) Morfin" <jefsey@club-internet.fr>]

Dear Bruce,
we now have the list, the ftp access and the domainname control. We being 
you, Eric, Jan, Judyth and me. I suggest that we forget about all the past 
and actually try to get those elections rolling. You took the lead and I 
support that. I responded my positions and I think we are in argeement. 
Abel proposed to develop whatever is needed and you proposed Joop to pass 
his questions and to DPF to edit them.

What next? I must say I am overwhlemed and have not much time left for 
this. What I can do without problem is:

1. to take the list of the Members in a radom order.

2. allocate them a nr and compute a checking key using their mailname and a 
secret key

3. copy the list with watchdogs

4. send each of the members a priavte ballot with their nr/checker to 
respond to a mailbox
    - acknowldeging the ballot
    - copying to as many watchdogs as one want
    each member can claim his ballot if not received.

5. each ballot would have each choices as :

    @voter_nr.md5based checker#question_nr: [  ] question : response A
    example for  Member 0021 with checking key xh7j.
     "@0021xh7j#01: [  ] Panel: Paul McGregor
      @0021xh7j#02: [  ] Panel: Gérard Dupont ..."

    This way we only have to take all the received ballots mailbox and 
make a grep of the lines with an uinitial "@" to have all the 
responses.  This may be done by the different whatchogs who can compare the 
files.

    This way a grep on the question "#nr" gives the result of each question.

6. the file may be put in line, so everyone can check his @nr are there and 
check the results.
The watchdoc may veryfy the claims in checking the list names vs the voters nr.
