Hi everyone,
For the approval of a Committee Draft (I'm not sure about the
phrase 'community release' as I don't see a ballot to submit the
specification for Public Review at this point in time), a Full
Majority Vote is required. That means greater than 50% of all Voting
Members must vote 'yes'. I think David's comments are to highlight
that it is not majority percentage of votes cast (i.e. 10 votes, 8 in
the affirmative, 2 in the negative, ballot passes).
Regards,
Mary
