RE: [atlarge-discuss] ELECTION REPORT

["Jeff Holt" <jefftttt@txucom.net>]

Ah, I see now, very interesting.  How does one go about getting a login
for this site?  The opening page has no "Register" feature.... 

It would appear to be at least partially done with Cold Fusion, no?  Is
there a subset of this membership with Admin responsibilities or is it
totally a private thing?  Didn't check the WHOIS on it yet, who's place
is it?  Appropriately monitored, it would certainly seem to be a
valuable tool for gauging membership participation.

Sincerely,

Hi Jeff,

The Polling Booth is a separate site www.pollingbooth.info,  developed 
especially to help secure voting on the web in the ICANN context and 
allowing for comments on the questions and reply options.

Only voters with their own unique password can vote.
Nobody can vote more than once.

It saves a lot of work when doing frequent polls.

I will make it available as a tool for decisionmaking within the Panel.
Nobody can cheat when 5 people know what they voted and voting can even
be 
made non-anonymous.
This way the Panel will become familiar with its use.

I could even give a rotating admin account.
