That isn't a dumb question, Jason; no, we have not set up a minimum percentage of voters, in part because “membership” in Code4Lib is such an amorphous thing. We definitely do not have 3500 active members, no matter what our listserv subscription looks like. But we do get close to 500 attendees at

Do YOU even think that's a good idea Eric, or was it just a joke? If it was just a joke, let's not, this is already messy enough as it is. If it was serious, and you want anyone to take it seriously (personally I don't think it ought to be), you should make some argument for why it would make

No. There is also no such thing as certifying a result, there is nobody in particular bound to do anything as a result of this poll regardless. On Tue, Oct 24, 2017 at 8:02 PM, Jason Bengtson wrote: > I apologize if this is a dumb question, or something I've just missed

That is a terrible idea, why would you do that? How do you know how many people are "in the community"? How do you know how many of them are still in the community, pay any attention to the listserv instead of just filtering it to a folder and never reading it, aren't out sick, etc. Jonathan On

I would be leery of interpreting abstention in that way. Similar logic has been employed in some states to prevent referendums involving tax increases to be passed. My sense is that the low vote total reflects that people understand this is a serious issue requiring an informed decision. Those
