Brian, Here are the sections of RFC 7347 used to determine who votes for what and what constitutes quorum... 5.5. Voting Mechanism The Chair must establish a voting mechanism. The committee must be able to objectively determine when a decision has been made during its deliberations. The criteria for determining closure must be established and known to all members of the nominating committee. 5.6. Voting Quorum At least a quorum of committee members must participate in a vote. Only voting volunteers vote on a candidate selection. For a candidate selection vote, a quorum is comprised of at least seven of the voting volunteers. At all other times, a quorum is present if at least 75% of the nominating committee members are participating. In section 5.6 - it says that Only voting volunteers vote on a candidate selection. "At all other times" quorum is 75% of the nominating committee members. So, I took "nominating committee members" to mean the voting members, chair, past-chair, advisors, and liaisons. So anytime a decision needs to be taken that requires a vote that is NOT a candidate selection vote, is voted on by the whole team. In section 5.6, I view "voting volunteers" as a subset of the 'nominating committee members" that can vote on candidate selection. "At all other times" it takes the full committee. Hope this clears up what I said about voting.
