Ben, I disagree. If abtentions don't count except toward quorum, 1
yes vote and 2 abstentions gets counted as 100% yes votes by
browsers, meeting the 50%+1 requirement.<br>

<pre wrap="">No. That would not meet the threshold.
Abstention is for purposes of calculating quorum only.

Subject: [cabfpub] Voting process clarification
I’m trying to sort out how abstain “votes” relate to ballot outcomes as per our bylaws. 2.2(e) says "Only votes that indicate a clear ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response to the ballot question shall be considered (i.e. votes to abstain and votes that do not indicate a clear ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response will not figure in the calculation of item 6, below).”
The “item 6, below” appears to mean (f) which says "at least 50% plus one of the votes cast by the members in the browser category must be in favor of the motion”.
Am I correct that this means a ballot with 2 abstain “votes” from browsers, one “yes” vote from a browser, and no other browser response would meet the “50% +1” threshold for browsers?
Thanks,
Peter
