<h1>GNOME Foundation Anonymous Voting Referendum</h1>

<p>

|
Any member of the GNOME Foundation can suggest a referendum. To be
|
|
|
|
|
accepted, a request for a referendum must be endorsed by 10% of the
|
|
|
|
|
Membership. The overall referendum process is overseen by the
|
|
|
|
|
Membership and Elections Committee, which can be reached at <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="mailto:elections@gnome.org">elections@gnome.org</a>.

In September 2003, the board discussed a possible move toward an anonymous
|
|
|
|
|
voting scheme for the annual GNOME Foundation board of directors elections
|
|
|
|
|
and brought it to the members on <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/">foundation-list@gnome.org</a>.
|
|
|
|
|
After much discussion, it was agreed that there was significant objection to
|
|
|
|
|
this so that the GNOME Foundation should hold a referendum to decide
|
|
|
|
|
whether future elections should use an anonymous voting mechanism.
