Hi, Stephen Gallagher proposed a change to FESCo voting rules [1]. The latest draft: ----------&<--------------------------------------------------------- Ticket Votes (Preferred) Once a formal proposal is made in a ticket, voting will proceed. A Change ticket is assumed to be a a formal proposal upon creation. An official vote in a ticket must be one of +1, -1 as defined herein: +1 — I am in favor of the proposal as currently written. 0 — I am electing to remove myself from the list of eligible voters. This has no effect unless the ticket votes are used for a meeting vote. -1 — I am opposed to the proposal as currently written. This topic must be discussed live in a meeting. At the end of one week, if a ticket has at least 3 votes of +1 and no votes of -1, it is approved and may proceed with implementation. If there is at least one -1 vote, the ticket must be added to the upcoming meeting agenda and subject to the Meeting Votes rules. If there are insufficient +1 votes at the end of one week, one additional week will be granted. At the end of this period, if there is at least one +1 vote and no votes of -1, the proposal is approved. If there is at least one -1 vote, the ticket must be added to the upcoming meeting agenda and subject to the Meeting Votes rules. If there are no votes at all, the proposal is considered rejected and the status quo will be maintained. The submitter may at this time make a new proposal which will restart this process. Meeting votes At the meeting, a reasonable amount of time must be given for discussion. Once a proposal is made in the chat, the vote will be tallied as follows: A proposal must achieve a majority (at least 51%) of +1 votes from eligible voters. Votes must be one of +1, 0 or -1 as defined herein: +1 I am in favor of the proposal as currently written. 0 I am electing to remove myself from the list of eligible voters. This reduces the denominator of the fraction required to achieve the 51% majority. In effect, I am agreeing to vote with the remaining majority, whatever they decide. -1 I am opposed to the proposal as currently written. Any eligible voter that cannot attend the meeting is assumed to retain any vote that they have made in the ticket prior to the meeting. Note that this does not apply to new proposals made in the meeting, with the exception of simple clarification edits. If a vote in the meeting achieves a 51% majority in favor of a proposal (accounting for any explicit 0 votes), that proposal is accepted. If a vote in the meeting achieves a 51% majority against a proposal (accounting for any explicit 0 votes), that proposal is rejected. If a proposal in a meeting fails to achieve a majority either for or against, the FESCo members present must either: Present a new proposal, restarting the meeting voting process. Return the proposal to the ticket, restarting the ticket voting process above. All votes made in the meeting will be transferred to the ticket (Note: negative votes recorded in this way do trigger discussion at the next meeting as normal). Once FESCo agrees to return the proposal to the ticket, all discussion in the current meeting on the topic is ended until that ticket vote has concluded with either a decision or is transferred to another meeting. ---------->&--------------------------------------------------------- Please comment here or in the ticket.
