Re: voting was Re: [PROPOSAL] Ivy

[Craig L Russell]

I wonder (out loud) if we might recommend to change the format of the [RESULT] [VOTE] tally to simply summarize the binding votes, just for completeness. Clearly, the people who need to know who the binding votes are already know it, and it doesn't strike folks quite in the face if they are not familiar.

For example,

+1:
Sam
Joe
Charlie
Wilson
Megantreth
Russell
Phan
(4 binding)

+/-0:
none

-1:
none

The vote passes.

Respectfully,

Craig

After all, if you get consensus, and it's all +1s.....

+1's came from PMC.  And other votes help advise us all of the entire
communities' opinion.

Bingo. That was David's point - the chair knows if at least -3- of those
