Hi,
It is now the 4th day in the voting so I figured it was time for
another update and the periodic reminder.
Update:
- So far 17 people have voted. This is 34% of the minimum threshold
of 50 votes that are required for the vote to count. Assuming that
the rate of voting continues, we should be able to reach the
threshold. It should be noted that 17 is a bare 10% of those who are
on the voters list.
- I have added one person to the voting list who was qualified by
virtue of having joined the list before the 24 July cutoff, but who
had not given me a personal name to go along with their email name by
the time I created the voter's list.
- I removed my duplicate entry from the voter list - while i never
intend to vote twice (as i did in the test votes - canceling my vote
out with contradictory votes), it just looked bad - at least to me.
- I removed the list service accounts (igc-voters-eVote and igc-
voters-admin) from the voters list. Since I am the only one who
could have voted from those, it would have given me 4 possible
votes. that would really look bad.
- I synced the list with the mailman list allowing one person who had
changed subscription address to be added to the voters list.
---There may be a side effect of this.
At least one person had set their account to vacation
(eVote vacation) which is supposed to prevent them from
receiving email without removing their ability to vote
in the future should they want to. I think the act of
sync'ing removed the vacation setting - i am not sure why
this would happen and think it a bug. If anyone is having
trouble getting the vacation setting to work or to stick -
let me know. I am not sure what I can do about it at this
point other then report the bug.
