[16:59] schestowitz[TR2] " [16:59] schestowitz[TR2] PS: Lists of candidates [16:59] schestowitz[TR2] Generally the election rules do not mention election lists. Subsequently there is no restriction for colleagues to form an election list. Consequently, the election committee has decided, like previous years, to allow candidates to identify themselves as being part of a list in all places their name is mentioned. This includes the presentation of the candidates be it on the internet site and the ballot slip. [16:59] schestowitz[TR2] In order to avoid misunderstandings each candidate has to clearly indicate his wish to be part of a list and also agree on all other candidates on the list. To ensure this, each list needs to provide the names of the candidates being part of that list in writing latest three days before the opening of the poll. This list of names has to include a name for the list and needs to be dated and signed by each of the candidates featuring [16:59] schestowitz[TR2] on the list.

[19:40] schestowitz[TR2] The core point I made: A small, simple mistake with a Root Certificate Authority has massive impacts throughout the system, making it highly likely that there were untold numbers of fake certificates which were trusted. [19:40] schestowitz[TR2] It is a security based on trust system, where we are asked to blindly trust dozens upon dozens of Root Certificate Authority organizations (from countries around the world) to never make a single mistake (or implement any backdoors for any government they are beholden to). [19:40] schestowitz[TR2] It is, quite simply, a design that appears specifically made to be abused and manipulated. [19:40] schestowitz[TR2] I was told that I did not understand how CAs work.
