9 | You get the current trustees to all speakup on the
10 | issues that we have been trying to discuss as of late and I'll go along
11 | with your idea.

13 As a non-trustee, I have absolutely no visibility w.r.t. which trustees
14 are actively carrying out their duties, and which ones aren't. I'd like
15 to know more on that, because I wouldn't want to vote for any current
16 trustees who simply aren't pulling their weight there.
17
18 How can you provide that information to the wider community?

20 | No matter how automated you make it there will still be
21 | a human aspect involved, and that is where I see the lack of resources.
22 | I have hope that this will change in the future.

24 I guess what you need is a group of trustees who are willing to put the
25 effort in to get such a scheme setup and running. Once you reach
26 critical mass, you can then employ an administrator

28 | It may have gone to -core.. there were many different cc's at the
29 | beginning of this.

33 | With mandatory voting you have the same problems as with a quorum vote.
34 | Some people just won't vote. If you hold a vote that has to wait for
35 | all members to submit their mandatory ballot, it will never close.
36
37 Or you still have your voting deadline, and then expel everyone who
38 doesn't vote. Think of it as an annual clearout of inactive accounts ;-)

40 (Personally, I'm in favour of an opt-in approach to voting, rather than
41 mandatory voting. But the idea's worth floating)
