This is not a good idea.

That won't actually make people discuss a proposal during the discussions p=
hase.

Instead people will be voting with the conversation about the proposal
not being complete.

And then we'll be stuck with bad decisions.

I would be against this.

There is at least one RFC where:

* I voted a particular way.
* Two people who saw that, asked why I voted that way.
* I pointed out the sentence in the RFC that they had almost certainly misr=
ead.
* They acknowledged that they had misread it, and that influenced their vot=
e.

I agree there have been problems with people being hassled during a vote.

I don't think restricting information is the way to solve that problem.

cheers
