For goodness sake! The proposal was made to address some issues that GNOME
Foundation Members are feeling - that there is undue peer pressure on their
voting choices because the ballots are visible to anyone. It is not a matter
of 'following the crowd'.

As Luis said earlier, the burden is on you to show why this is detrimental
to the Foundation, as others have seen the above reasoning to be fair and
worthwhile.
