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.
