Minutes For Referendum Team Meeting: 26 March, 2004
===================================================
Present:
	Gael
	Sayamindu
	Vincent

The main goal of this meeting was the planning of the upcoming
referendum.

New actions:
------------

	ACTION: Send a first draft of the anonymous voting process to
	        the list.
		(Vincent)

	ACTION: Send a first draft of the schedule to the list and to
	        the board.
		(Nobody was assigned, but Vincent will do it)

Discussion:
-----------

	(a) How the question should be asked in the ballot and what the
	    possible answers should be
	    - The proposed question is : "Do you accept the voting
	      process to become anonymous, as described in [URL]? Note
	      that the description of the process is subject to change
	      to ensure better anonymity or security."
	    - "yes/no/don't care" were proposed as answers, but there
	      was a general feeling that "don't care" would be too
	      confusing. We'll probably just have "Yes/No".
	    - Final decision on those items should be taken by the
	      board.

	(b) Implementation of the proposed process
	   - All agreed that it'd be good to have an implementation
	     before the vote so people can look at it.
	   - Help from outside the committee will be welcome to write or
	     review.

	(c) Referendum schedule
	    - General feeling that the vote should happen before the
	      GUADEC.
	    - We've decided on a schedule, where we give time to the
	      board, and then to the Foundation members to review the
	      proposed process.

	(d) Proposed process
	    - Vincent had notes somewhere about a possible process.
	    - Meeting ended before we really discussed this item. Will
	      be discussed by mails.
