<p dir="ltr">The drunken part of me is therefore agreeing that the only fix is to go electronic 100%. However the conscious part of me still thinks it's not good ethics to have a voting means shutdown before the other for the same election.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In view of this, I will suggest that while closing of online voting is done a day before AGM, it's actual unlocking/counting of votes should be done same time with counting of paper based.

Hi Seun, et al,<br>
Sorry I am joining the party late, but given my experience on the<br>
Nomcom, my few cents are inline:<br>

<br>
My recollection is that the comment period, and the feedback form<br>
specifically is designed to allow pre-f2f online engagement . It is<br>
Nomcom's expectation that by the time of the f2f, the electorate<br>
should have interacted via this platform to form an opinion on the<br>
candidate. It is also for this reason that the speech at the f2f is<br>
trimmed to a minuscule 2 or so minutes.<br>
<br>

<br>
In the past, recorded speeches have only been for candidates who are<br>
not at the f2f in person and as such this is not available to the<br>
public until the other candidates are speaking -- typically minutes<br>
from the voting.<br>
<br>

<br>
The online vote has to be tallied and our current procedure specifies<br>
that the tallying happens before the elections which makes sense if<br>
you asked me because three trustees have to unlock the votes with<br>
their private keys around the same time. Leaving this until the paper<br>
ballot is tempting fate: Internet connectivity or one of the trustees<br>
may just not be present. This can jeopardize the entire exercise as<br>
there might not be enough time to fix the issue.<br>

<br>
Not entirely accurate. The online voting system is designed such that<br>
the result is unlocked and tallied by three trustees. These<br>
individuals have to validate the result and as such have knowledge of<br>
it.<br>
<br>
