My suggestion is that the remaining chair breaks the tie.
Yes, that leaves the decision in the hands of the remaining chair, but
it follows the principle of 'the buck stops here', and it also
reflects the responsibility in the hands of the chairs and the voters.
...
That said, I don't have any objection to giving the returning chair a
casting vote, as was suggested previously. However, we must cover the
situations in which there is no returning chair, including the
bootstrapping case.
I suggest that if there is no returning chair, then the registrars
break the tie.
I think it is fine to designate the vote-taker(s) as breaking the tie in
the event there is no returning chair.
Separately, if we are going to give anyone a casting vote, we need to be
clear as to whether they also hold a normal vote.
ie, in the case of a tie in the boostrap case, you as the current
registrar, someone from IBM AFS or designee, someone from OpenAFS
(whomever the elders name as the designee), kAFS (David Howells or
designee) and Arla (Love? or designee) would break the tie. Any of
you could choose to abstain, recuse yourselves, etc, but the group as
a whole would be responsible for breaking the tie in whatever manner
you (plural) see fit. In the case, post-bootstrap, where there is no
chair to break the tie, the members of the registrars at that time
would break the tie.
Is that reasonable?
Yes, I think that works.
FWIW, I'm not sure who the other registrars will be, but I'm working on
finding out, in the hopes of having the process ready to go by the time the
document is adopted.
