In my first reply to Zeev, I said I was opposed to having a 6/7/other vote with a plurality, but a 50%+1 vote of that kind might be more tolerable. Then again, the “other” votes might ensure nothing passes. To be honest, I’d much rather just do a 6/7 50%+1 vote in that case. I suppose I could also do a 6/7 2/3 majority vote in place of the 6 yes/no 2/3 majority vote the RFC proposes, though then again, you’d have the question of what to do if neither gets an outright majority. Of course we have that problem anyway with a yes/no 2/3 majority vote. Argh, I need some sleep. I’ll think about it further and respond in the morning. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
