I would interpret the results remarkable different from that. A high

Disagreement with a proposal is a reason to vote against it; apathy is a
reason to abstain. Neither are a reason to not even participate.



It had absolutely nothing to do with apathy. It had to do with such a narrow voting window. I tried to
be able to be free to vote, but unfortunately I couldn't. What about a real length of time like a week
instead of at least a week?

Berin:

I don't think Brian is referring to yourself.  You made it clear
earlier this month that your level of engagement was reducing (a
much more passive role if I remember correctly) and I think its
understood my everyone here that there is a conflict you have with
respect to the time you have available.  I think  Brian is addressing
critisism raised by Pete on the question of the level of
participation, given that Pete chose not to register a vote.

In addition, Greg raised a valid points in his email concerning
participation and a bearing this has on implicit endorecement.
