Suggestions? It should not be too small, but also not be too > large...) To combine these... I'd suggest something like this: For Yes/No/Abstain type votes: 50% of the "registered voters" or >=80% of the actual votes which ever is smaller. For Choice type votes: use the STV method (not what Debian uses by default). Why the 80% rule? I can see a time when SPI is large enough that not everybody votes. Debian already sees < 50% voter turn out on some issues but (so far) everything has been pretty decisive. Every issue would have been decided under these rules and if it's a situation where 80% of the 20% that vote can't agree, then more should be done to get a larger body of voters in volved to decide the issue. > - removal of board members > .. this should be relatively difficult... 2/3 majority vote of the board or > of the membership maybe? I would say 3/4 the board (ie. every member of the board) and stick with 2/3 for the body. > - Members and committes may put resolutions before the board of directors > for voting I think I like this.. Members as individuals or members as a body (ie. with voting?) -- Please cc all mailing list replies to me, also. ========================================================================= * http://benham.net/index.html <gecko@benham.net> <>< * * -------------------- * -----------------------------------------------* * Debian Developer, Debian Project Secretary, Debian Webmaster * * <gecko@debian.org> <secretary@debian.org> <lintian-maint@debian.org> * * <webmaster@debian.org> <gecko@fortunet.com> <webmaster@spi-inc.org> * =========================================================================
