We all know OSI elections are advisory-only, but the true advice given via electoral ballots should be public

This is somewhat similar to a point I was making on the OSI forum when people defended the "support publicly" clause as being similar to so-called "disagree and commit" philosophies that were in place at, reportedly, Sun Microsystems and Intel. If indeed some Silicon Valley tech companies adopted a "disagree and commit" policy regarding *employees*, that doesn't mean (a) it was a good idea, (b) it worked well, (c) it is appropriate to apply to nonprofit organizations, or (d) it is appropriately applied to *board* governance as opposed to management of employees.
