+ 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.
