Hello Incubators,

since the Lenya community is confronted with being graduated to a TLP
and thus with setting up a resolution for the ASF Board (did I used the
right terms?), I wonder if it is better to do a silent vote for the
future Apache Lenya PMC Chair. 

I followed some discussions on cocoon-pmc@ and I think this is a good
idea.

The main reason I see is, that such votes should not end up in a
popularity contest.

I saw some ASF Board minutes from year 2002 where it was discussed to
use STV as a voting system. I could not find any detailed information
about such a system and its usage within the ASF.

Does a silent voting system exists somewhere, which we could use for
sensitive votes or do u think silent voting is not needed?
