I agree with this concern, so a private ballot would be nice if feasible. But if it's going to significantly delay us it's not worth it.
In other news: I'll be off e-mail (mostly) until a week on Monday. If for some strange reason anything urgent needs dealing with, TD has my phone number.

What method of voting are we going to use, how are we going to collect the results. It has been discussed on IRC to hold a secret ballot to avoid vote stacking
My fear isn't vote stacking, it's that the candidates make up a significant portion of the electorate which makes it infeasible for them all to abstain and I would rather not end up sitting on a board with someone that knows I voted against them (and I doubt I'm alone in that), it could be awkward.
