Subject: Re: [office] Non Persistent Voting Members (was Re: [office] OpenDocument TC coordination call minutes 2009-12-07)


Correct; which is why it was a problem to amend those eligible to vote mid-ballot :)

I haven't heard any complaints and the ballot appeared to pass either way, but in future please make sure you verify the voting roster prior to starting a ballot.
