This will be helpful to people who aren't regularly involved in FESCo votes. If that's you: the proposal presented here is largely clarification. There's not much in the way of substance change. I did notice that the "fast track" voting mechanism fell out. I think that's worth preserving. Also, the proposal says "eligible voters" a lot. Let's replace it with "FESCo members" to make it more clear that it's not a wide-open vote. If you really want, you can say "eligible FESCo members", but there's not been any case that I'm aware of where a FESCo member was ineligible to vote on something, so adding that word inserts unnecessary complexity. > Change ticket is assumed to be a a formal proposal upon creation.

This largely duplicates the definitions for in-ticket votes. It might be better to just refer to that and add the special meaning of 0. Something like: 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 described in Ticket votes. In a meeting vote, a vote of 0 reduces the denominator of the fraction required to achieve the 51% majority. In effect, it says "I am agreeing to vote with the remaining majority, whatever they decide." -- Ben Cotton (he/him) TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Bcotton _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
