Re: Groups - oasis - Ballot "Sample Ballot" has closed

[John Larmouth <j.larmouth@salford.ac.uk>]

I guess this comment is really to OASIS overall, not to the ubl-lcsc, 
but I do find it difficult to sort out when an OASIS ballot has (or is 
about to) succeeded or failed (based on experience in another OASIS TC).

I know the rules are clear in the OASIS pages, but it would be good if 
the summary of a closed ballot (or even of an open ballot) repeated the 
criteria, stating the number of eligible voters, the number that need to 
vote for it to be approved, and the percentage of those voting needed 
for it to be approved, or whatever.

Did this sample ballot result in a final APPROVAL?   Or did the few NO 
votes mean it FAILED?  And did enough of those entitled to vote actually 
vote?  It would be good if the final Web pages said balloted action 
APPROVED or FAILED.   It is my suspicion that this SAMPLE BALLOT 
actually FAILED, but I could be wrong.
