For the board election tool, the specification was that intermediate results weren't going to be displayed so as not to influence the outcome.  Mike, I think you drove that criteria, correct?  I do think that not showing the running tally helps to limit the risk of "group think" and would advocate keeping it that way, but look forward to feedback from others.

Cheers,

Brian

[Moving to the board public list.]

Thanks, Brian.  That worked rather well.  I really appreciate the online ballots.

Each BoD member's voting record will be made public after the ballot closes, correct?  I know our meeting minutes sometimes, but not always, record who voted which way in the case of non-unanimous decisions.  The inconsistency is likely just because we haven't discussed a policy here, not any intentional effort to keep things secret.  Personally I'd rather we just established the policy to always make the BoD voting records public, but I'd be interested to hear arguments for or against.

I also noticed that, for this ballot, the running record is being hidden from the electorate.  For a BoD vote we can probably make the ongoing record visible to the eligible voters; just like it would be if we voted in-person.  We should strive to be consistent between the online and offline processes so there is no question about one being more or less legitimate.

Thoughts?
