[Sotm-asia] Decision making to fix venue

Wed Jul 17 09:33:48 UTC 2013

Dear all

I think we can take the same decision making process as worldwide SotM event.

I assume that SotM event usually take the closed voting by the committee.

On the other hand, the decision making process itself have to be totally opened and it ensures the transparency to all people.

I for example use Facebook only very sparsely and only if necessary, not only because of NSA and PRISM but also because of other reasons. So I don't want to publish (accidentally) my votes, especially if I can't really control, who will see it.
