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:
   −
* 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 medium:
   −
* voting medium: IRC, email, something else? If an async medium such as email is chosen, which is the time limit for voting? Some decisions will be urgent.
+
# IRC
 +
# email
 +
# wiki
   −
* voting system, some options, 1: unanimous consensus needed, 2: unanimous nondissent needed (either consensus or abstain), 3: majority needed, no dissent (at least 4 yea, no nay), 4: simple voting (more yeas than nays).
+
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
 +
