I have some Opinions on this proposal, but I suggest that we consider it separately from the remainder of the proposal for the sake of clarity.

This seems ungreat. If many FESCo members are unwilling to provide an up/down, that indicates a problem with the proposal, IMO. I'd like to see this have a floor (e.g. proposals always require at least +3). This would also block the one-week approval (+3 and no -1 results in approval currently). > * Abstaining from a vote (aka "voting 0") is considered to have > removed that FESCo member's vote from the set of eligible votes.

So: To pass any measure, a majority — defined as the greater of half the votes cast (rounded up) — must vote in favor of the measure. This keeps the one-week approval. It doesn't fix a (+4,5,-0) situation, but that's a rare case and again suggests the proposal needs improvement. -- Ben Cotton He / Him / His Senior Program Manager, Fedora & CentOS Stream Red Hat TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
