| 60 min | TC Voting rules | All | Background:
Ingolf would like the same voting rules that other councils use. Maccabee points out that TC has agreed that Slack voting is allowed, but only after a possibility for discussion. Craig don't want to change the voting rules whenever the TC member changes. Jenn: Without Slack voting peope are motiviated to attend the meetings. Ingolf: Knowlegable abstention is quite different from an absent member not voting. Jakub: We might have a standard rule and the option that any member can request a higher quorum. Craig: If absent members sent a proxy we can keep the 7 votes rule. If a majority of a quorum decides this can be a small fraction of the TC; this seems odd for serious decisions. Marc: Some people have a problem to find a proxy. The chairs might designate a proxy if the member doesn't provides a proxy. Jakub: The quorum is needed to have a informed decision by getting feedback from all groups represented in the TC. Tod: A proxy can not only be from the same organisation, it can be another TC member or a person from a different organisation. And Slack voting should be allowed. There are different opinions whether Slack voting slows down the decision making. Do we want Slack only voting, or Slack voting as a fallback when we don't reach a quorum/majority in the meeting. An abstention can cause a loss of a quorum, this is more powerful than a no, but as powerful as an absent. |
