[xtm-wg] MOTION: Charter revision - definition of absolute majority

["Eric Freese" <eric@isogen.com>]

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.
