Dear All,
Thanks to Martin making kind efforts to resolve some of the issues
My comments on quorum and decision making is merely related to the second
category of Recommendations
Quote
*" Recommendation *- a position where only a minority disagrees and their
objections have been documented, but at least 2/3 of the members prewsnt
physically  or attending/participating remotely  most agree and no ICG
community as a whole is ...( delete firmly since objection is objection and
does not require firmness)
This voting should only and only be limited ,as the last ,and really last
,option/recourse, and on purely exceptional cases.
Please kindly consider that simple majority is not properly responding to
the delicate issue under the ICG purview and 2/3 majority ,in case of this
type of recommendation, is the minimum acceptable threshold.
In some parliamentary approach even 4/5  criteria is used.
We should consider that I purposely mention 2/3 of those ICG Members
physically attending and those remotely participating in the process to
take account of every boy .That seems covering the concerns of everybody
whether physically attending or remotely participating in the decision
making process
Regards
Kavouss
