Hi, I just voted. (BTW, like many others, I also got the ballot somewhat late, after many emails had been sent to this thread - just a FYI for the administrators, if it helps). I noticed while on the vote page that all or most of the text was in capital letters. e.g. YOU HAVE RECEIVED THIS SPONSORSHIP BALLOT BECAUSE YOU ARE A VOTING MEMBER OF THE PYTHON SOFTWARE FOUNDATION. THE PSF HAS RECOMMENDED THAT To the election officials: It may be preferable not to have all caps, unless there is some strong reason for it. This is a general guideline for stuff posted on the Net (see Netiquette in Google or Wikipedia), and it is because all caps is considered the online equivalent of shouting.

Colleagues, I appreciate your comments and suggestions, and will continue to work with the volunteers to improve the voting process. It’s nice to see such an active community of volunteers and members working together. We worked out the SMTP issue this weekend – and that is why your ballots are being delivered. There is no intent to have this all in caps, etc. as the framework was upgraded and noticed a couple bugs with the style. We will fix this for the next vote. I encourage you to be a part of the vote. Please feel free to email me directly with any other questions or concerns, at mmangoba@python.org. Best regards, Mark On Sun, May 1, 2016 at 10:54 AM, Vasudev Ram <vasudevram@gmail.com> wrote:
