Re: [atlarge-discuss] Election Scrutineering



Dear DPF,
1.   We are in total agreement on this.

2.   seeing no reaction from Joop nor Jan nor Judyth I formally ask:

2.1 - Joop will you or not a candidate to the Panel vote?

2.2 - if you commit to join the non-candidate and watchdogs:

2.2.1 - will you permit this community to use your polling booth?
2.2.2 - will you accept that there are five trustees
2.2.3.- will you accept that these trustees explains this community
           the way the booth work?
2.2.4.- will you provide the information requested by DPF?
2.2.5.- will you accept that the election are run as per the Panel
          questions/organization and not yours.

2.3.  - Jan or Judyth, you have not copied Bruce and me of the list/
          You realize that not doing anything except saying that you
          do not have the resources to run an election (you are not to
          but to control) leads to nowhere.

2.3.1  - what are the reason why for Bruce who is a Panel Member
2.3.2. - what are the reason why for me who is a Panel Member
           and a committed watchdog
2.3.3  - what are the terms you put to give Joop the list of Members.

3.       DPF, have you run an electino with the DNSO? Could you
          organize it.

4.       I must say that I am pretty confident to our joint ability to
          run an election in using our own CGI for the following reasons:

          - there is nothing complex in the scheme I presented.
          - the code will be public and everyone can read, check and
            test it and propose corrections.
          - the control can be made every 10 minutes by the watchdogs
            if they want.
          - the only "tricky" part is the sending of the mails.
            - either as a watchdog I can do it and report (since it is
              totally to be controlled by others this has no impact)
            - or it can be easily automated by the CGI and reported
              to anyone having an old PC or a MAC.

I'm not sure what decision has been made about new elections and who
will run them, but for maximum transparency I would ask that the
system used be able to provide (publicly to all members) the following
details, so any ir-regularities can be detected.

1) A list of names and/or munged e-mail addresses of all those who
voted (but not how they voted)

2) A list of all the votes cast (showing how they voted), with an
identifier that is only known to the voter and scrutineer.

This is what the GNSO Secretariat has provided in the past and if we
are not to use them we should meet the same high standard.  This
allows people to see that their vote has been counted and included and
also to see the pattern of voting which can help detect
ir-regularities.
