[CCWG-ACCT] Voting weights in community mechanism

[Kavouss Arasteh]

Dear All
I do not understand what legally means the abstention of non participation . The voting results is always counted based on those who participate in voting .
Those who do not participate SHALL NOT be counted as Abstention.
This is alphabet of voting and the issue must be mentioned in each of voting procedure as follows:   
X% of those participating in voting and Vote.
Last night I  verified more than 20 convention, constitution,charter , agreement ,covenant and ..... All do not count non voters as abstention
Regards
Kavouss

Since they are both composed of individuals appointed by the Board, some may question their independence in case such a power is triggered. This could raise concerns of conflicts of interest.

One of the duo did formerly join this working group recently (which I think was a good thing) even though there were indication of not joining at the earlier stage of this process. So things can change and those stress tests needs to be done and sufficiently catered for in the ccwg report/proposal
