Ryan, you can end this discussion by saying that Google will be the Proposer on 
the two ballots, Ballot Forum-5 and Ballot SC-5.  Will Google be the Proposer 
of the two Ballots?

Google didn’t even vote on our last ballot SC8 for SCWG Chair – I’m not sure 
why you are so interested in this issue.

I understand you disagree. Perhaps you can help us understand what you believe 
supports your position, as Tim has done by pointing out the Bylaws being clear 
on this, so that we can have a reasoned understanding beyond "Kirk disagrees".

Again, I disagree that a Proposer and Endorsers are required for the reasons I 
stated before – but if there are three Forum members who want to volunteer as 
the Proposer and the two Endorsers for Ballots Forum-5 and SC-5 (Vice Chair of 
Forum and SCWG), I will include their names in the ballots.

So far, no one has offered to be a Proposer or Endorser of either ballot.  If 
we do not receive enough Proposers and Endorsers for the two ballots, we will 
proceed with the ballots without them.

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?
