<p class=MsoNormal>Hi. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>An authoritative answer should come from the secretariat,
but here is what I understand: <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>The quorum is the greater of the 30% of the entire
membership or 30. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Since we seem to have 338 active members, that means 102
votes. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Among it, we have to achieve majority of the vote + super
majority of the entire board. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Right now, only 58 votes has been cast, so we have significant
shortage of the vote. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>I urge everybody to vote. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>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>
