P1788 friends,
The voting period for motion 11 has officially begun, and will continue until the end of March 22. Baker's call to vote is appended below.
Results as of 7 Mar 2010:
Yes: 1; No: 5; of 70 Registered Voters
Required for quorum: 36
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/M0009.01_ExactDotProduct 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.
