[Mark Overby]

FYI.

 

This means that abstentions are treated the same as people not present to vote.

Subject: INCITS rules have changed

INCITS has recently revised their rules, which are published in Reference Document 2 (RD-2). This document is available on the INCITS web site at:

  http://www.incits.org/rd2/main.htm

One significant change is that the two-thirds rule has changed as follows:

4.4.2.2 2/3 Voting Rule

The 2/3 voting rule is defined as:

• approval by at least 2/3 of those voting YES or NO, and
• approval by a majority of the voting membership. That is the threshold is not affected by the number of members present at the meeting for a meeting

The change is that abstentions are no longer subtracted from the second part of this rule.

I have updated the INCITS Vote Calculator on T10.org to reflect this change:
