[1] "Special Majority Vote"

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process-2010-07-28.php#dSpecialMajority

"Special Majority Vote" is a TC vote in which at least 2/3
(two thirds) of the Voting Members vote " yes" and no more
than 1/4 (one fourth) of the Voting Members vote "no". These
numbers are based on the total number of Voting Members.
Abstentions are not counted. For example, in a TC in which
there are 30 Voting Members, at least 20 Voting Members
must vote "yes" for a motion to pass; but if 8 or more vote
"no" then the motion fails. All Special Majority Votes must
be conducted via electronic ballot by the OASIS TC Administrator.
