One strong argument for the proposed change is that, currently, an abstention or recusal (TIL that's the proper term) is essentially equivalent to a negative vote. (As long as we require +5 to pass, any vote apart from +1 has the same effect.) In a hypothetical case where three or four FESCo members were involved in a change and decided to recuse themselves, a proposal gets a very high bar of 5/6 or 5/7 votes. If one or two voting members are absent, the change may not even pass even if *all* non-abstaining members are in favour.
