Subject: [xtm-wg] MOTION: Charter revision - definition of absolute majority
MOTION: Alter the text contained in paragraph 3.2.1 of the TopicMaps.Org charter to read: "Absolute majority" shall mean a number of votes V is greater than or equal to ceil(N/2.0) where 2.0 is a real quantity, N is a real quantity equal to the total number of voters, minus the number of abstentions, at the time that the call for a vote is issued pursuant to section 3.3.2, / is a floating-point division, and ceil() is the ceiling function which is defined to round the number away from zero to the nearest integer. ======================== REASONING: The current definition is easily misread (I did it). This makes the wording in 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 more consistent. ======================== This motion requires a 2/3 majority to pass. Ten (10) "YES" votes are required for this motion to pass. The voting period shall run from February 6, 2001 through February 14, 2001. <!-- **************************************************************** Eric Freese Email: eric@isogen.com Director - Professional Services - Midwest Voice: 651 636 9180 ISOGEN International/DataChannel Fax: 651 636 9191 1611 West County Road B - Suite 204 WWW: www.isogen.com St. Paul, MN 55113 www.datachannel.com ***************************************************************** --> ------------------------ Yahoo!
