Not to mention that your system does not provide for the proper
verification of qualifications as a member of the GA Voting Registry,
further it does not provide the kind of auditing and other functions
that are necessary to support the votes made by the DNSO GA and
provide accountability for them, and the rules specifically provide
only for voting through the Secretariat function, and such use this
"voting booth" would require a Secretariat run vote to change the
rules.
