[governance] voting process - various issues

[McTim]

Parminder,

I think our differences here are a matter of tense, and perhaps in
different Latin translations.

It is my view that the phrase "(i.e. a voter must affirm membership on
the voter form in order to vote)."

Means that one declares membership WHEN you vote, not before ("As part
of the voting process").  This implies a one step process ( I see
three clicks, two sets of radio buttons and a submit button).  In any
case, the "i.e." stnds for "id est" which means "in other words" or
"that is (to say)".   In other words, the charter is quite clear that
affirmation should be on the voter form itself.

So I think the The charter does lay out a voting process that is
fairly specific.

Ascertaining before hand (what AD calls a "loyalty oath", is where you
went awry IMO.

I fully support the notion of a web based vote/affirmation.

I look forward to reading you proposal tomorrow/
