Subject: [xtm-wg] MOTION: Charter revision - maximum duration of non-face-to-face votes
MOTION: Alter the text in the first paragraph contained in section 3.3.2 of the TopicMaps.Org charter to read: After a suitable time for discussion, any Participating Member may issue a formal call for a vote. Formal calls for a vote may be made by electronic mail, or by voice on telephone or at a face-to-face meeting. The call for a vote must include a deadline by which Participating Members must provide their votes. For non face-to-face votes, the deadline must be at least seven (7) and no more than fourteen (14) calendar days after the date on which the call was issued. ======================== REASONING: Motions in the past have been proposed with open-ended deadlines. This motion seeks to end this practice by defining a maximum length for votes, in order to keep business moving. Whether this motion passes or not, future motions without a defined end date will be considered out of order. ======================== 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!
