Seeking Community Input: Open or Secret Ballot for TAC Elections?

AA Anton Arapov Public Seen by 171

As we approach the elections for the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), we aim to align our process with our mission and values, emphasizing transparency, accountability, and community involvement. To achieve this, we seek your input on whether the TAC elections should be conducted via an open or secret ballot.

For context, during the Business Advisory Committee (BAC) elections, we opted for a secret ballot to maintain consistency. This decision was influenced by differing perspectives within our governance structure.

Due to time constraints, we were unable to conduct a community poll at that time.

We are conducting a poll to gather your opinions on the preferred ballot format for the upcoming TAC elections. Your feedback will help us balance our commitment to transparency with the need to protect voter privacy, ensuring our election process aligns with our shared mission and values.

Please take a moment to participate in the poll and share your perspective.
