Everyone would continue to vote confidentially under this proposal until the vote closes.
Unless, of course, a member decides to announce publicly that he voted (or how he voted) you would have no idea of who favors and who opposes a motion before the voting has finished.
You would simply know that the motion has passed or has failed.
As all the TalkBoard members already know the moment that someone votes if he was in favor or against the motion, and they are the only ones who can vote on it, there is nothing in this motion which would influence the outcome of a vote.
