RE: Re[2]: [ga] Ballot question

["L Gallegos" <jandl@jandl.com>]

The problem I see with a public "vote" is that the voting registry is 
specifically just that.  There are many who monitor the GA list but 
do not subscribe to it and just subscribe to the voting registry, I 
believe.  Are not the numbers of voters in that list larger than the 
GA list?

I would hesitate to not use that method if only for the reason that 
the membership on the lists is different.

Consensus can be achieved by recording the feedback on the GA 
list.  However, the vote on the resolution should be by ballot, IMO.

As for my public vote on Roland's motion with Amendments:

[X] Agree
[ ] Disagree
