Once the board has agreed on making a decision on a particular issue, we need to define how such decision will be made. Some questions that would matter:
Voting medium:
# IRC
# email
# wiki
Voting timeline:
# immediate in-meeting
## with absentees excluded (including this option for completeness)
## with absentees voting via email to the SLOBs list beforehand
## with absentees delegating/relaying vote to another SLOB who will be present
# voting window opens one week before meeting, closes in meeting
# voting window opens at meeting, closes one week after meeting
# substitute timeframes other than "one week" in above two options
Level of agreement:
Should all decisions require the same level of agreement? Maybe changing the rules require a stronger agreement such as unanimity or a greater quorum?
Voting system:
# unanimous consensus needed
# unanimous nondissent needed (either consensus or abstain)
# majority needed, no dissent (at least 4 yea, no nay)
# simple voting (more yeas than nays voting, period)
