[GRASS-PSC] Voter question

[Hernán De Angelis]

Thanks Anna and Vaclav for your comments.

I believe the principles used to make the list are neat and sound. I do 
not see the need to complicate things more in the future.

Anna, I agree, someone that may be contributed a little long ago may not 
be interested or involved in the project today. How large the proportion 
was? I do not know for sure but from the numbers I estimate it in the 
order of 60, or 40% of the list.

Vaclav, I agree, although the list is not secret its only appropriate to 
talk publicly in terms of aggregates. Also all votes are encrypted: 
neither the CRO nor anyone can see who voted for whom.

As I wrote before, I see no major problems. My thoughts about 
improvements are mostly within the CRO role, like making communication 
more clear on how to opt out or the times for start of the election, etc.

We now have a new PSC full with competent and energic people. As Vero 
worte, let's keep growing GRASS !

All good :-)

Hernán
