Voting Decision Making Practices Review

Discussion surrounding how to best proceed with voting on CTS 2 ballot items. The Vocabulary WG currently requires two chairs and three attendees for quorum. For projects however (TermInfo, CTS2, etc.) we frequently only have one chair present. How should we best proceed with voting on Ballot reconciliation items?

From Karen Van: We need to follow the voting rules outlined in our Decision Making Practices (DMP).

For ballot reconciliation, once we have quorum we need to follow the rules in the GOM for the dispositions. Currently, for Normative ballots we require a 60% affirmative vote for Not Related and Not Persuasive. Persuasive requires 100% affirmative (not objections).

Motion (Carmela): Since the CTS2 WG rarely meets the quorum requirements of the Vocabulary WG, the CTS 2 Project groups proposes to determine recommended ballot comment dispositions for the CTS2 Normative Ballot within the CTS2 project calls, and bring these recommendations to the main Vocabulary WG calls for a formal vote.
