Looking at the three proposals, can we take pieces from all?
* Auto PMC membership for committers who have been active for
at least six months.
* Charter and Bylaw voting time period is a week
* A motion passes with 2/3 majority vote of quorum
* In the event that quorum cannot be met, voting remains open
until quorum is met.
* Size of quorum shall be [insert your percentage here], with
a floor of 3 people (i.e. if percentage of PMC is less than
three, then Quorum is still 3)
So basically, the three variables are:
1) Minimum period within which to count votes [1 week]
2) The definition of a quorum (3+, 33%, 50%) [ ? ]
3) Percentage required to carry the vote [ 66% ]
Is that correct?
That's what I am thinking. The 3+ is an absolute minimum. I.e.
if Quorum is 33% and there are only 6 PMC members, quorum is still
3 (i.e. 50% of the PMC). As the PMC grows to something like 21,
33% is 7, so that is used instead of the 3.
I personally would prefer 50% Quorum to have better representation,
but I am not going to obstruct something else. (I think that 33%
should be considered an absolute minimum percentage).
Also, as with most communities using quorum (including home owners
associations) there is the idea of a rolling time period. I.e.
voting remains open as long as necessary to reach quorum--even if
it exceeds the 1 week period.
