Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Vote process change proposal
From: danack@basereality.com (Dan Ackroyd)

I dislike the lobbying, and think some of the allgeged abusive
back-channel communications are wildly out of order, but I would be
against this change.

There have been a couple of instances in the past few weeks where
someone has voted in a particular way.

When asked why they voted like that, they've explained themselves
which has lead to other people realising the actual implications of an
RFC, and for those people to either vote no, or switch their vote from
yes to no.

Aka allowing people to see votes has prevented some RFCs being
approved that would have otherwise been approved.

I think having clearer rules about what lobbying is permitted, and
introducing some rules on who can vote on what would be a better way
of limiting the effect of lobbying.

cheers
Dan
