Hi. <div><br></div><div>An authoritative answer should come from the secretariat, but here is what I understand: <div><br></div><div>The quorum is the greater of the 30% of the entire membership or 30. </div><div>Since we seem to have 338 active members, that means 102 votes. </div>
<div>Among it, we have to achieve majority of the vote + super majority of the entire board. </div><div><br></div><div>Right now, only 58 votes has been cast, so we have significant shortage of the vote. </div><div><br></div>
<div>FYI, to start a WG right now, we need 68 votes, so if we only get a current level of participation, we will not be able to spin out a WG, which means we are dead as a standardization forum. </div><div><br></div><div>
I urge everybody to vote. </div><div><br></div><font color="#888888"><div>=nat</div></font><div><div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 2, 2009 at 7:51 AM, SitG Admin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sysadmin@shadowsinthegarden.com" target="_blank">sysadmin@shadowsinthegarden.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

This is to alert all that we have a significant shortfall in the vote re:<br>
the IPR process. Votes are needed now.<br>

Many members may not be aware of the very high bar set for changes of this<br>

You need something like a majority of all *possible* voters, not those who actually vote? It almost sounds like a passive DoS attack, then - just pay and forget to stall the voting process for that year.<br>
