PEAR Group: New Administrative Document

The PEAR Group would like to inform you that a new Administrative Document has been published. Its title is "Handling Votings and Membership (II)" and it is available at http://pear.php.net/group/docs/20040322-vm.php as soon as the automated update of the website is finished. This document supersedes the Administrative Document "Handling Votings and Membership" from 20th August 2003. Similar to the predecessor of this document, the content mainly affects the workflow inside the PEAR Group and there are only two differences between the versions: 1.: A vote is now considered unresolved, if half or more of the members of the PEAR Group choose to abstain. Previously more than half of the members had to abstain for this to happen. 2.: In the same context as in 1., the term "voting members" has been replaced with just "members". This makes it more clear that not taking part in a voting automatically results in the vote of the concerning member being formally counted as abstained. If you have questions or comments concerning the new document and/or the changes, please send a mail to pear-group at php dot net. -- - Martin Martin Jansen http://martinjansen.com/
