One requested modification. A vote the relates to a change to the charter and/or policies and procedures shall require a 2/3 majority.I am putting this in another thread because Charter.txt is now very long and we have two types of voting on the table. I want to separate them as much as possible. Below is my understanding of the PMC voting process as of the last discussion: * Strict majority ( > 50% ) with a quorum of 50% of the PMC.
* PMC votes are open for a minimum of one week.
+1
+1* If quorum cannot be met within one week, voting remains open up to two (2) weeks until quorum is met. If quorum cannot be meet in that time period, the resolution has considered to have failed. It can be brought up again when more people are willing to vote on the proposal.
In terms of policy and procedure test - I suggest dropping the last sentence but including this as an explanitory note. Also, under chair rights and privaliges, the chair should be granted the right to disallow a vote if he/she considers the motion inappropriate (this covers not only things like reoccuring votes for the same thing, but also votes that are not within the concern of the PMC - e.g. technical issues).
This needs to be worked up a bit more - yes, I know - propose something - and yes, I'll get to it!This voting process is for PMC related issues. That includes the legal documents (resolutions, charter, by-laws, etc.).
One more thing - I think that at the level of the PMC would be strict about seperating [PROPOSAL]s from [VOTE]s. A vote should not be allowed if (a) it has not been the subject of a prior proposal - i.e. discussion, and (b) cannot be considered as a binding vote unless (i) it is raised under the [VOTE] tag, and (ii) the chair has issued a [VOTE-RESULT].
Cheers, Steve.
