<section>
<title>Voting Procedures</title>
<p>This document details how the Avalon PMC has agreed to handle
voting.</p>
<section>
<title>People Involved in the Voting Process</title>
<section>
<title>The Proposer</title>
<p>The proposer is the one who comes up with the
discussion that needs to
be addressed. Any member of the Avalon community may
start the
discussion. The proposer must follow the procedures
listed under the
heading "Prior to the Vote".</p>
</section>
<section>
<title>The Vote Administrator</title>
<p>The vote administrator is the person who tallies the
votes and reports
the results. The person who actually puts a proposal
up for vote is
usually the vote administrator, although this task
can be taken on by
someone else.</p>
</section>
<section>
<title>The Voter</title>
<p>A voter is someone who expresses support, opposition
or abstention for
the subject being voted on. A voter must be an
Avalon PMC member. Input
is appreciated from committers and all other members
of the community,
but only votes from PMC members are counted.</p>
</section>
</section>
<section>
<title>Prior to the Vote</title>
<p>Before any vote can take place, the subject must be
discussed. All such
discussions take place on the Avalon developer or PMC
mailing list, and
have the text "[PROPOSAL]" in the subject line. That
practice alerts
members to the fact that you eventually intend to call a
vote on the
subject.</p>
</section>
<section>
<title>The Vote</title>
<p>When the proposal is ready to be adopted by the community,
the Proposer
will call for a vote on the Avalon developers or PMC
mailing list. The
call for vote must have the text "[PMC:VOTE]" in the
subject line. That
practice alerts the members to the fact that the prior
proposal is now
ready to vote on, and discussion should stop for the
proposal.</p>
<section>
<title>How to Vote</title>
<p>The voter responds to the call for vote with an
expression of support,
opposition, or abstention. The exact way to express
the voter's
position is listed below:</p>
<ul>
<li>+1 a vote supporting the subject</li>
<li>+0 a vote abstaining from the subject (but
showing some support).</li>
<li>-0 a vote abstaining from the subject (but
showing disapproval).</li>
<li>-1 a vote opposing the subject</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section>
<title>Counting Votes</title>
<p>The vote administrator will count only the last vote
from each voter.
That means a voter may change their vote at any time
during the duration
of the vote. </p>
</section>
<section>
<title>Types of Votes</title>
<p>There are two classes of votes: a Qualified Majority
Vote and a Normal
Majority Vote.</p>
<section>
<title>Qualified Majority Vote</title>
<p>Any vote that affects the texts "Avalon PMC
Charter" or "Avalon PMC
Policies and Procedures" is a Qualified Majority
Vote. For this type of
vote to pass, it requires support from two-thirds
(2/3) of the voters.</p>
</section>
<section>
<title>Normal Majority Vote</title>
<p>All votes that do not fall under the heading of
Qualified Majority Vote
are handled as a Normal Majority Vote. If more
than half (1/2) of the
voters support it, then the vote has passed.</p>
</section>
</section>
<section>
<title>Voting Qualifications</title>
<p>In order for any vote to be considered binding it must
have quorum, and
be held for the proper amount of time.</p>
</section>
<section>
<title>Quorum</title>
<p>For all votes, there must be at least three (3) voters
and half (1/2) of
the PMC must cast a vote.</p>
</section>
<section>
<title>Duration</title>
<p>All votes will be open for an initial period of one
week. The Vote
Administrator may close the vote at any time after
that period if quorum
has been achieved. If quorum could not be reached
within the initial
one-week period, the vote will remain open for one
additional week. If
the vote still has not achieved quorum, then it is
considered failed.
The proposer can choose to bring it up later when
quorum can be reached.</p>
</section>
</section>
<section>
<title>After the Vote</title>
<p>When the vote is closed, the results of the vote are
summarized by the
Vote Administrator. The vote administrator will send an
email to the
Avalon developers or PMC list with the text
"[PMC:VOTE-RESULT]" in the
subject that has the summary. The summary will include
the count of all
+1, +0, -0, and -1 responses, and the final verdict of
whether the
subject passed.</p>
</section>
<section>
<title>Disagreements</title>
<p>Disagreements concerning voting may be directed to the
Chair. The
Chair's opinion shall be final and binding upon the
PMC.</p>
