[cabfpub] Ballot SC5: Election of Server Certificate Working Group Vice Chair

[Tim Hollebeek]

This is correct.  The ballot requirements for endorsers and discussion periods applies to _all_ ballots.  The bylaws are pretty clear on that; it’s even in the title of section 2.3.

 

The fact that 4.1(c) of the bylaws requires a ballot does not override the usual ballot rules.

 

I really hate to nitpick about things like this, but I felt I had to point it out.

 

Also if we could get a second endorser to fix the voting rules after Ballot 216 got accidentally overwritten, that’d be great.  I can write up the ballot over the weekend.

-Tim

Bylaws section 2.3 ("General Provisions Applicable to all Ballots") says "Any proposed ballot needs two endorsements by other Members in order to proceed." The language in section 4 describing "confirmation ballots" and "election ballots" appears to fall under this requirement.

Doesn't this ballot have the same issues with compliance to our Bylaws that DigiCert noted? That is, consistency with Section 2.3 of the Bylaws?
