Stepping a bit late to this semi-ridiculous discussion but I disagree with both:

• proposal itself to make votes part of public record
• voting on this topic among openSUSE members seems unnecessary to me

as well.

Given that it was the openSUSE members who initially created the role of the board and set its scope, as a board member I feel that it is the community not the board that should drive any change in its scope. From brief discussions in and out of board meetings I think that much of the board agrees with this and as such a change in the board's scope to start asking for member votes on a range of issues is likely to require a vote from members as we the board are not likely to make that change on our own.
