Subject: Proposal for new Standing Rule regarding Electronic Ballots
OASIS TC Process 2.13 states: "Electronic Voting: TCs may conduct electronic ballots, either by using the TC’s general mail list or the publicly archived electronic voting functionality provided by OASIS. The minimum period allowed for electronic voting shall be seven days; the TC may specify a longer voting period for a particular electronic ballot. Any Specification Ballot conducted as an electronic ballot must permit each voter to choose "yes", "no" or "abstain." A motion to open an electronic ballot must be made in a TC meeting unless the TC has adopted a standing rule to allow this motion to be made on the TC’s general email list. When such a rule has been adopted, motions made on the mail list must also be seconded and discussed on that list." I'd like to introduce a new standing rule to permit motions to open an electronic ballot to be made and seconded on this TC list. This will ensure that we are able to move ODF 1.2 drafts, Errata drafts, etc. through the required process, even if TC meetings are canceled due to holidays or conferences. My proposed Standing Rule is: "In accordance with OASIS Technical Committee Process 2.13, the OASIS ODF TC will allow motions to open electronic ballots to be made, seconded and discussed on the TC's mailing list". Adopting a new Standing Rule requires a Full Majority Vote. I'm hoping to bring this up for a vote on Monday's TC call. Please think it over and share your thoughts on on the list. Regards, -Rob
