nor do I, and my suggestion does not cause that - my suggestion says that if you want a majority vote then the majority is of all current members of the IAOC not of some subset that happen to show up at a meeting > This is usually handled by quorum rules.

Bert asked about that and I think that having quorum rules is fine - but I'm assuming that most IAOC decisions will be made electonically rather than face to face so I do not think that establishing a quorum for face to face (or telephony) meetings changes the number that the determination of a majority vote works on - basically I'm saying that the IAOC should work on the same rules IETF WGs do and verify decisions on their mailing list (if one or more members miss a face to face or telephone meeting) Scott =----- Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2004 05:50:09 +0100 From: Harald Tveit Alvestrand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Scott Bradner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: draft-ietf-iasa-bcp-02: section 3.4 - IAOC Decision Making --On 12. desember 2004 20:38 -0500 Scott Bradner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > open from last version > > I think it must be made clear that all IAOC decision making involves > all IAOC members then in office - not just a subset that might show up > at a meeting or on a phone call > > maybe add: "All IAOC decision making includes all IAOC members then in > office." I cannot find a previous message from you with the word "subset" in it, but you may have used some other phrase - but I disagree with your proposal; I don't think the IAOC should be completely paralyzed by one member being on holiday, ill or for other reasons unable to participate. This is usually handled by quorum rules. I think the IAOC should set those (and publish them).
