[WP1] Voting Thresholds

[Jordan Carter]

Hi all

Alan, Bernie and I have been working on the voting thresholds and counting
system. It's an addition to the 5A-2 paper on Community Mechanism - Voting.

We have tried to propose the very simplest model possible, as follows.
Please review this and be ready to discuss on WP1 in ~4.5 hrs or so.

*"The CCWG-Accountability proposes that for the purposes of the simplest
possible administration of the voting system that the thresholds expressed
for each community power should be absolute. This means that if a threshold
is 66%, then 66%+ of the votes that could be cast by participants in the
CMSM at that time need to be 'yes' votes for the threshold to be met. No
votes, abstentions or non-participation would all be treated the same way."*


*"An alternative approach that adjusted the thresholds based on the number
of yes/no votes compared with the number of abstentions or non-votes was
considered, but adds significant complexity and so is not the CCWG's
preference at this time."*
