The only real difference between a secret and non-secret vote currently is knowing who voted what. In both cases a list of voters and a list of votes is published. Changing the interpretation that we don't publish who voted what would turn our non-secret vote in the same a secret vote. I do no believe that was ever the intention. For every GR we have published who voted what. Kurt
