RE: [semantic-ex] Change of Chairs

["Mary McRae" <mary.mcrae@oasis-open.org>]

Hi folks,

  I just wanted to clarify something Mick said below - a chair must be
elected by a full majority - that is, +50% of the voting membership. So if
you have 10 voting members, at least 6 must vote in the affirmative for a
candidate to be elected.

Best regards,

Mary
