This is correct.  The ballot requirements for endorsers and discussion periods 
applies to _all_ ballots.  The bylaws are pretty clear on that; it’s even in 
the title of section 2.3.

 

The fact that 4.1(c) of the bylaws requires a ballot does not override the 
usual ballot rules.

 

I really hate to nitpick about things like this, but I felt I had to point it 
out.

 

Also if we could get a second endorser to fix the voting rules after Ballot 216 
got accidentally overwritten, that’d be great.  I can write up the ballot over 
the weekend.

Bylaws section 2.3 ("General Provisions Applicable to all Ballots") says "Any 
proposed ballot needs two endorsements by other Members in order to proceed." 
The language in section 4 describing "confirmation ballots" and "election 
ballots" appears to fall under this requirement.

Doesn't this ballot have the same issues with compliance to our Bylaws that 
DigiCert noted? That is, consistency with Section 2.3 of the Bylaws?
