[CCWG-ACCT] [WP1] Updated Memo on Request on Sole Designator

[Seun Ojedeji]

Hi,

I think lowering the threshold may still bring us to a deadlock since we
are not always certain whether all will participate at any point in time.
Allowing splitting votes is out of discussion as we have agreed to go by
consensus.

Option 2 IMO seem to be a good thing to explore further and in order to
ensure that is not abused, an overall minimum total number of participating
SO/AC should be set. So if that minimum is not achieved then there is no
need to check those in support or against. I think a minimum number of 4
may be in order.
That will ensure that percentage is not used on say 3 participating SO/AC
or less.
