Hi Leah.
Just a note, to you and all other ALS representatives: These votes are held by secret ballot. You need not broadcast your intentions unless you explicitly wish to do so.
In addition to the "VOTE ANNOUNCEMENT" emails which go to the entire mailing list, every ALS representative should by now have personally received two separate emails with the subject "VOTE CREDENTIALS" -- one for the Secretariat and one for the ALAC representative.
(Individual non-ALS members should have received similar but slightly different ballots.)
Each of these "credentials" emails contains a link that is private to you, that enables you to vote using a web service called "BigPulse". Upon voting you will receive a coded receipt that can be used in case of challenge or irregularity.
Results are tabulated automatically by BigPulse and relayed to ICANN staff at the close of the election period.
ICANN staff could if they wanted extract information on who voted which way, but that would only be required in case of a challenge and this has not yet IIRC been required in the history of ALAC. What is more often done is that ICANN staff typically query BigPulse halfway through a voting period, in order to send reminders to those who have not yet voted.
HTH.
