Well, I don't think we would need all of them (at least I would
consider .com and .net optional - that could be done for the winner
only, if at all).

We can have the first vote public, but we would not show the results of
the poll. Then we could have a "closed" poll for the remaining set
(team leads, whatever). We could acquire the names for the three best
choices, and present them as the final completely public vote - that
would exclude many people in this intermediate vote, but it would be
safe.
OTOH I wouldn't want to be excluded from such a vote ;-)

Adios...
