in general I have no issues with open votes - the past two votes
(Boston+Dar chairs) I called for, were open votes.<br>
<br>
Proposing secret votes is more, because I followed the guidelines
written on the WIKI (they say, it's a secret vote).<br>
<br>
What I fear somehow is that when we come to vote on other persons
than former chairs, it might happen, that people also might vote
against single persons and I do not want to create issues among
people in our comunity.<br>
<br>
There might arise these problems in the fact that we are voting on
people in public. If you take the charter or board vote, then you
always vote "for" persons, never against someone, but this can
happen here. And so disagreements may arise between members in our
community, although it could be that I appreciate someone, but don't
think he/she is suitable for membership in the CC.<br>
<br>
So, my proposal is: If we vote "public", I suggest that we vote
active "for" new members, which might mean, that proposed people
need at least 50.1% of "yes" votes among all voting members (e.g. 9
yes votes if we would be 17 members). The difference is, that if you
are not for a clear "yes", you just do not vote (or you just don't
care ... ;-)).<br>

as said, I'd first like to call for proposal of new members
*today* and<br>
then have a secret vote on them - like all future votes on new
CC<br>
members (as said in the WIKI [1] already).<br>
<br>
I already contacted to people that are willing to receive the
votes.<br>
<br>
Is that okay for you?<br>
