I just received a comment that Section 2.3 point 7 also needs to precede
all occurrences of "Member" with "Full", as Interested Parties are
sometimes able to participate in Forum Teleconferences, etc, and so may
affect the quorum without a corresponding ability to vote.
So, I updated this paragraph to:
"7. A ballot result will be considered valid only when more than half
of the number of currently active Full Members has participated. The
number of currently active Full Members is the average number of Full
Member organizations that have participated in the previous three (3)
Forum Meetings and Forum Teleconferences."
There is no need to circulate a new version yet. I'll wait for more
feedback.
Thanks,
Dimitris.

Following up from the latest F2F meeting, I have prepared a ballot for
a Bylaws update.
I am looking for two endorsers.
Thanks,
Dimitris.
*Purpose of Ballot:* The Forum has identified and discussed a number
of improvements to be made to the current version of the Bylaws to
improve clarity and allow the Forum to function more effectively. Most
of these changes are described in the “Issues with Bylaws to be
addressed
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EtrIy3F5cPge0_M-C8J6fe72KcVI8H5Q_2S6S31ynU0>”
document.
Here is a list of major changes:
1. Clarification of the use of the term “Member” so it is clear when
we discuss about all Forum Members (which includes Associate
Members and Interested Parties), and when we discuss about the
“Full Members”.
2. Adding the term “Voting Representative” which is designated by
each Member. Only votes submitted by Voting Representatives will
be considered
3. Replacing of the term “Forum wiki” with the properly defined term
“Member Web Site”
4. Removing references for Webmaster in the definition of “Public Web
Site” since it is repeated in section 5.2
5. New Photography Policy in Exhibit D
6. Clarification of 4.1 (2) that Forum Members nominate representatives
7. Allowing informative changes to Guidelines by the Chair or Vice Chair
8. In 5.3.1 require that a Certificate Issuer is trusted in the
“latest” software produced by a Certificate Consumer
