Hi all; Murray asked on membership-committee list if we should ask to prospective members these questions, which are optional to answer: gender, to track lack of female involvement; nationality, to track lack of Asian involvement; And one more can be: public key, we can encrypt ballots in future. Lastly we recently started asking 'type not-spam in text box ' question to get rid of spam. Encrypting ballots and managing public keys will need more technical changes in the system, but I just wanted to include this to so as to start a prior discussion. For other questions, I don't see any problem with asking them. Gender part might be useful for communication as well, as it's not easy to separate male and female with international names. And for nationality we can limit it just for regions instead of all nations as this thing gets too political when you include one or forget to include another. And finally, what do you think about it?
