I'm sorry to have to point this out, but the proposal has not been accepted according to our bylaws. I was going to post the final tally on the list as per custom: yes: 18 no: 4 abstain: 2 total: 24 I thought that was a low number of votes given the recent influx of TUs, so I checked the total number of TUs listed on the official page (https://www.archlinux.org/trustedusers/). There are currently 37 active TUs. According to our bylaws (https://aur.archlinux.org/trusted-user/TUbylaws.html): > Quorum shall be 66% of all active TUs and participation shall be measured by > the sum of YES, NO and ABSTAIN votes, UNLESS otherwise stated in a section of > the bylaws pertaining to the proposal. > The proposal is accepted if EITHER > > the number of YES votes is greater than half the number of active TUs OR > > quorum has been established and the number of YES votes is greater than > the > number of NO votes 18/37 < 0.5, so the first condition has not met (19 yes votes needed) 24/37 < 0.66, so the second condition has not been met (25 total votes needed for quorum) I voted yes, so I do want this to pass, but if we just ignore the bylaws whenever it's convenient then there's not much point to having bylaws. We could hold a vote to make an exception in this instance, but I'm not sure that's the best way either. It would set a precedent for overriding the bylaws through simple majority. Regards, Xyne
