Oh, sorry I guess so. Since I'm looking closer at http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/vote_007 I might as well ask if the tabulation was done correctly for the Amendment requiring 3:1 majority. It seems to me that out of the 300+ votes, only about 30 people didn't vote in support of it. I'm wondering if the actual intent of the debian developers was really captured here. I suppose this is a more applicable question for debian-vote Have a good day, Jeff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
