I don't know if it would make a difference here, but I wonder if it would be sensible to add an "abstain" option in votes? That way, someone who has considered an RFC but not formed a strong opinion either way could register that fact. This could even be paired with the notion of a "quorum", i.e. a minimum vote count demonstrating that the outcome of the vote is not the accidental result of "missing" votes, say because several people happened to be on holiday or busy. Just a thought. -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]
