Possibly. I think this is a discussion that the first board can have
(that's what I meant with my suggestion above.) Fact is, a voter
probably wants to understand how the votes are tallied up so that he
knows how make his vote in the most effective manner. (At least that's
how Jens and I seem to feel.)

Right, which reminds me: There'll only be one Strategic Developer
(namely, Zope Corporation) for now, which means we only get to elect one
committer director for now?
