Yes. But we really want to avoid ballot stuffing, personally
identifiable information is needed. So either we have to give up on
preventing ballot stuffing, or on not exchanging personally identifiable
information.
For the brain-storm:
* Digital signatures
Some countries (at least Denmark and Italy) supply their citizens
with uniquely identifiable (within the country) digital signatures.
As an addition to that we could have a trusted ballot committee for
verifying digital signatures of people who haven't got access to a
national digital signature architecture.
* Physical meetings
Doing the voting at an old-fashioned physical meeting is a quite
effective way of preventing ballot stuffing.
* Money talks
We could also simply accept that money talks, and let people have
votes proportionally to how large a sum they have donated to
LDraw.org in the last year.
* Aristocracy
Drop all this talk about voting and let a self-supplementing
committee govern LDraw.org.
I am not necessarily in favour of any of the above suggestions.
Play well,
Jacob
