Summary of voting irregularities

[John Goerzen <jgoerzen@progenylinux.com>]

WRT the resolution proposing the removal of non-free, the following
irregularities have occured with the process.

1. The Secretary has made a decision by fiat stating that a 3:1
supermajority is required for its passage, despite contradictory
language in the Constitution.

2. Confusion has surrounded the ballot regarding aj's amendment.

3. There has been a suggestion that because of the Secretary's
inaction, the proposal and the amendment have expired.  This places us
in unknown territory since the Secretary already issued a ballot.
Furthermore, it leaves us in a nasty situation whereby a single person
can kill any resolution by ignoring it.

4. During the Secretary's absence, the Constitution specifies that the
chairman of the Technical Committee should step up in his place.
However, that person is Ian Jackson and he failed with this duty.  The
Technical Committee have failed to replace him with someone more
active in the Project.
