Mr. Chairman:
The voting period for Motion 5 ends shortly. The entire voting period
fell into the vaction time. Therefore my question:
Can the voting period for Motion 5 be extended by one week?
Motion 5 is concerned with the basic arithmetic operations for
intervals. The text of the motion is attached. There have been about 25
Yes votes so far.
I shall be without computer connection for the next ten days.

Baker Kearfott's announcement of voting:
P1788 members:
The formal discussion period for this motion has ended, and the
formal voting period has begun. Votes may be cast until the
end of Thursday, September 3, 2009. The motion is listed below.
During the voting period, the
motion is not subject to amendment. A registered Voting Member may vote
"Yes"
"No"
"No," but propose an amendment that would cause the voter to
vote "Yes." The proposed amendment shall include detailed
wording and rationale. Such "No" votes on position papers
are NOT motions to amend. The purpose is to influence
other voters.
Of course, anyone may make any statements they wish, but those are not
votes.
All votes on position papers should be public. The mechanism for voting is a
message broadcast to <stds-1788@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>. The ideal vote is
Subject: Motion P1788/M003.01_Set_of_reals YES (or NO)
Body: YES (or NO and proposed changes)
Name
The Voting Tabulator shall count as a vote any message in which the intent
is clear.

A registered Voting Member may change her/his vote at any time during the
voting period simply by broadcasting a fresh voting message.
A position paper requires a "Yes" vote by 2/3 of the registered Voting
Members to pass. A quorum is 2/3 of the registered Voting Members. If
necessary to achieve a quorum, the Voting Tabulator may solicit further
votes, in which case, all not-yet-voted registered Voting Members shall be
solicited equally.
