Ah good point, I figured that was the implication there. Although, here's a thought experiment. The board drops from 7 to 6. Nearly a year later we finally get around to holding an election, with the vote scheduled for the anniversary of the member's departure. But the day before the voting starts another board member drops out, bringing us to 5. The election is held, but since it was set up to only vote on one person, at the end of the election we're still only at 6, and now we're past the one year mark. > Why did you change "All" to "Routine" in section six?

There could be other decisions where we'd want to make consensus or 2/3rds votes be required; I don't think the FSA needs to limit us to only majority voting. > Other than this it looks good to me. > > Thanks, Bryce, for pushing on this. > > Tav > Bryce ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Inkscape-board mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-board
