You could register that fact by not voting.

If there are people too busy to vote but interested in the topic, then they could ask to extend the vote or postpone if - if there are enough such people, I do not see why anybody would deny such request. If people are too busy to even communicate - then I'm not sure what there is to be done about it. I'm not sure how "quorum" would help - say, there is no "quorum" - so what we do? Just not vote until... what happens? Hold indefinitely long votes? Repeat votes until arbitrary threshold is passed and then argue if that was "accidental" or "gamed" or anything else? I'm not sure it would be better than holding a straight vote. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@gmail.com -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
