Amen. Let's not fall on our sword over a single vote.

Thanks to Kavouss for this suggestion, and to Greg for highlighting it. I hope we can all consider this as a possible further compromise solution that might bring us to resolution. I know we are all committed to the successful completion of our work in a timely manner. Let's not miss this opportunity to reach consensus and finish our work in a collaborative manner.

Regards to all.

All,

I wanted to pluck this suggestion out of the email swamp.

Kavouss made an alternative proposal concerning another threshold between Simple Majority and 2/3 -- the alternative threshold is 60%.

Speaking only for myself, this could be a simple but creative way out of the current situation.  It is a literally a middle ground between the current majority threshold and the previously proposed 2/3 threshold:

Votes

Percentage

Result

8/16

50%

No

9/16

56.25%

Yes, by majority

10/16

62.50%

Yes, if by 60%

11/16

68.75%

Yes, if by 2/3


This would require one more vote than the current threshold and one less vote than the 2/3 threshold.  Win/win?

Greg

There has been many cases considered with that level of threshold
Pls confirm its recption and confirm actions to be taken before you go to poll
