    Hi,

    This is the first call for votes on the General Resolution about voting >secrecy.

    Voting period starts 2022-03-13 00:00:00 UTC
    Votes must be received by 2022-03-26 23:59:59 UTC

    The following ballot is for voting on changing the resolution process.

    This vote is being conducted as required by the Debian Constitution.
    You may see the constitution at
    https://www.debian.org/devel/constitution.
    For voting questions or problems contact secretary@debian.org.

    The details of the general resolution can be found at: >https://www.debian.org/vote/2022/vote_001

    Also, note that you can get a fresh ballot any time before the end of
    the vote by sending a signed mail to
    ballot@vote.debian.org
    with the subject "gr_vote_secrecy".

    To vote you need to be a Debian Developer.

    HOW TO VOTE

    To cast a vote, it is necessary to send this ballot filled out to a
    dedicated e-mail address, in a signed message, as described below.
    The dedicated email address this ballot should be sent to is:

    gr_vote_secrecy@vote.debian.org

    The form you need to fill out is contained below in this
    message, marked with two lines containing the characters
    '-=-=-=-=-=-'. Do not erase anything between those lines, and do not
    change the choice names.

    There are 4 choices in the form, which you may rank with numbers
    between
    1 and 4. In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1.
    Place a 2 in the brackets next to your next choice. Continue until you
    reach your last choice. Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger
    than 4.

    You may skip numbers, leave some choices unranked, and rank options
    equally. Unranked choices are considered equally the least desired
    choices, and ranked below all ranked choices.

    To vote "no, no matter what", rank "None of the above" as more
    desirable
    than the unacceptable choices, or you may rank the "None of the above"
    choice and leave choices you consider unacceptable blank. (Note: if the
    "None of the above" choice is unranked, then it is equal to all other >unranked choices, if any -- no special consideration is given to the
    "None of the above" choice by the voting software).

    Finally, mail the filled out ballot to:
    gr_vote_secrecy@vote.debian.org.

    Don't worry about spacing of the columns or any quote characters (">")
    that your reply inserts.

    NOTE: The vote must be GPG signed (or PGP signed) with your key that is
    in the Debian keyring. You may, if you wish, choose to send a signed, >encrypted ballot: use the vote key appended below for encryption.

    The voting software (Devotee) accepts mail that either contains only an >unmangled OpenPGP message (RFC 2440 compliant), or a PGP/MIME mail
    (RFC 3156 compliant). To avoid problems I suggest you use PGP/MIME.


    VOTING SECRECY

    This is a non-secret vote. After the voting period is over the details
    on
    who voted what will be published. During the vote itself the only
    information that will be published is who voted.

    You can encrypt your message to the voting system to keep your vote
    secret
    until the end of the voting period. The software will also try to keep
    your vote secret and will encrypt the reply it sends to you.

    BALLOT OPTIONS


    Choice 1: Hide identities of Developers casting a particular vote >=================================================================

    Rationale
    =========

    During the vote for GR_2021_002, several developers said they were >uncomfortable voting because under the process at that time, their name
    and ballot ranking would be public.
    A number of participants in the discussion believe that we would get
    election results that more accurately reflect the will of the
    developers
    if we do not make the name associated with a particular vote on the
    tally sheet public.
    Several people believed that the ranked votes without names attached
    would still be valuable public information.

    This proposal would treat all elections like DPL elections.
    At the same time it relaxes the requirement that the secretary must
    conduct a vote via email. If the requirement for email voting is
    removed, then an experiment is planned at least with the belenios
    voting
    system [1]. belenios may provide better voter secrecy and an easier
    web-based voting system than our current email approach.
    If this proposal passes, adopting such an alternative
    would require sufficient support in the project but would not require
    another constitutional amendment.

    [1]: https://lists.debian.org/YhoTRIxtz3AIpO+g@roeckx.be

    This proposal increases our reliance on the secretary's existing power
    to decide how votes are conducted. The lack of an override mechanism
    for secretary decisions about how we conduct votes has not been a
    problem so far. However, if we are going to rely on this power to
    consider questions like whether the project has sufficient consensus to
    adopt an alternate voting mechanism, we need an override mechanism.
    So, this proposal introduces such a mechanism.

    Summary of Changes
    ==================

    1) Do not make the identity of a voter casting a particular vote
    public.

    2) Do not require that votes be conducted by email.

    3) Clarify that the developers can replace the secretary at any time.

    4) Provide a procedure for overriding the decision of the project
    secretary or their delegate. Overriding the decision of what super
    majority is required or overriding the determination of election
    outcome requires a 3:1 majority. The chair of the technical committee

    =========

    Give the opportunity to vote for secret voting without needing to >additionally vote for unrelated/only slightly related
    constitution changes;
    for example for the change of mode of voting
    from email to something not defined.

    As it was mentioned in the discussion,
    there might be no consensus on which options are direcly related -
    This option regards the need to allow verification (6))
    as directly related to secret votes, because otherwise
    they would become completely unverifiable.

    Summary of Changes
    ==================

    1) Do not make the identity of a voter casting a particular vote
    public.

    6) Codify that our election system must permit independent verification
    of the outcome given the votes cast and must permit developers to
    confirm their vote is included in the votes cast.

    Choice 3: Reaffirm public voting
    ================================

    Since we can either have secret and intransparent voting, or we can
    have
    open and transparent voting, the project resolves to leave our voting
    system as it is.

    Rationale:

    The GR proposal for secret voting is silent on implenentation details, >probably because secret and transparent voting is, well, impossible to >achieve fully, so this GR is bound to a similar fate as the 'publish >debian-private' vote, which was voted for and then was never
    implemented.

    A voting system which is transparent only to some, is undemocratic and
    will lead to few people in the know, which is diagonal to Debians goals
    of openness and transparency.

    And then, early 2022 is not the time for rushed changes like this,
    which
    is also why I explicitly want to see "keep the status quo" on the
    ballot,
    and not only as "NOTA", but as a real option.

    Choice 4: None of the above
    ===========================

    This is the default option. Rank this option higher than the
    unacceptable
    choices.

    <br>Since we can either have secret and intransparent voting, or we can have<br>open and transparent voting, the project resolves to leave our voting<br>system as it is.<br><br>Rationale:<br><br>The GR proposal for secret voting is silent on
    implenentation details,<br>probably because secret and transparent voting is, well, impossible to<br>achieve fully, so this GR is bound to a similar fate as the 'publish<br>debian-private' vote, which was voted for and then was never implemented.<br><br>
    A voting system which is transparent only to some, is undemocratic and<br>will lead to few people in the know, which is diagonal to Debians goals<br>of openness and transparency.<br><br>And then, early 2022 is not the time for rushed changes like this,
