[atlarge-discuss] Judyth and Jan, voting method

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

Dear Judyth and Jan,
Do not misconstrue my remark on the voting method. Joop and everyone agree 
the vote should be carried by a third party (hopefully DNSO if one shot), 
or if no other simple way though the Booth with trustees if they feel at 
ease. No one, I think, may unfortunately take seriously Vittorio's solution 
because it was the first thing I suggested him to do when I nominated him 
for Chair against ... Joanna, and his only response ever since was "not the 
time".

If we have no other solution, here is what I proposed Bruce and we feel we 
can manage (anyone welcome to code the CGI.

1. I can generate a batch file to send a mail to everyone in the list that 
you can easily check and run with two command line programs I would send 
you. One would
- generate for each member a random voter-large-number,
- store that number in a file you would crypt uszing pkzip and send to 
everyone,
- and generate the mails.
The other one would send the mails.

2. each of us would only have a mail with an URL to click to vote (ticking 
the names you want to support) and register the votes (by numbers) in a 
file. A mail would be sent to you, telling you the person has voted. The 
file of the votes would be sent to another goup of trustees. Another 
program (using you decrypted file at the end of the vote) would filter the 
unauthorized number, tell the date the numbers voted first (they could 
distribute so eveyone may check), and take the first vote infomation into 
account to add the vote.

The code of the programs would be published (I can write that). This way no 
one can cheat. You know the voters. The other trustees would know the votes..
