With the following I hope to eliminate situations where a vote of OBJECT would result in a given vote achieving quorum, making the objector's vote that allows the vote to be accepted.
Example: Quorum = 5 Votes of 4 SUPPORT and 1 OBJECT. The objector's vote gives an outcome of ADOPTED. The objector would have been better off not voting in this case, leaving a result of FAILED QUORUM. However, the risk of all objectors not voting is that the proposal attains quorum any way, and but would have been REJECTED if objectors cast their votes. Proto-Proposal: Quorum Busting (AI = 2, please) Amend rule 955 (Determining the Will of Agora) by amending part (a) to read: (a) If there is more than one available option, and the number of distinct voters voting SUPPORT who submitted valid ballots is less than quorum, then the outcome is FAILED QUORUM, regardless of the remainder of this rule. Otherwise, the decision achieved quorum. -- Jeremy [EMAIL PROTECTED]
