There's a number of ambiguities in our Project Governance wiki page.
1. What exactly is the super majority requirement? Is it 66% of the last roll call, or is it 50% through the inclusion of a low-water mark? The super majority is defined as… "Minimum participation #'s of active quorum is 66% of active quorum must cast a vote in favour for it to be considered valid." This is not clear. And there is also the mention of… "A simple majority of this electorate becomes the low-watermark for votes in favour necessary to pass a motion, with new PMC members added to the calculation." Again, not very clear, does the low-water mark apply to both types of majority votes. Strictly interpreting the wiki doc means our super majority requires 13, not 10, votes. (Based on our last roll call tallying 19.) But I believe our intention was that simple-majority requires 50% of both votes present in the thread and participation of roll call, and super-majority requires 66% of votes present in the thread as well as the 50% of roll-call participation . That is, both types of majority votes require the 50% of last roll call participation. Does anybody have any different understanding of our requirements? 2. Releases not following either simple or majority rules. This is mentioned briefly. But subsequent text on voting specifics, the precedence in the doc is not clear enough, IMHO. Benedict and I have agreed to improve the wiki page. Once done we will follow up here to ensure everyone agrees the change is safe and follows all our intentions.
