This does not have anything to do with being a Canonical employee. As a member of the CC I was tasked to organise the election. I used the information about email addresses of all members of ~ubuntumembers in Launchpad. We have used the CIVS service in the past, because it allows us to use the Condorcet method of voting, something that is not available in Launchpad. This was not a topic of contention for any of the elections we used in the past. I checked the security & privacy FAQ before and was quite happy to hear that http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~andru/civs/sec_priv.html says: - "E-mail addresses of voters are erased immediately after the election begins." - "The identity of a voter is known only to the election supervisor and the individual voter. The election supervisor knows how many voters cast votes, but has no other information about whether or how a given voter voted." We need a good way to organise our elections, so if you have a better suggestion on how we organise them, I'd appreciate it.
