[CCWG-ACCT] The 60 percent solution

[Schaefer, Brett]

I'm a bit confused. Wouldn't the arguments against the 2/3 requirement, which is after all 66%, apply just as much to the 60% proposal?

I think Becky's proposal gets much closer to addressing the substance of the concerns raised.

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
