More or less. I was calling it a "majority decision", but that's what I had in mind, at least one more 'yes' (or 'no') than half of all votes.
AR> There is only a single reference that I can find in the FidoNet Policy AR> about needing an absolute majority, and that's the Zone Coordinator AR> election. Other than that, all voting mechanics are extremely vague.
Yes, extremely vague indeed! This ambiguity is what caused me to start this whole discussion in the first place!
AR> And FWIW, that document has been in effect for thirty years and FidoNet AR> is still here.
I wouldn't expect Fidonet to immediately implode if that document were to be changed, either. After all, we have seen our Election Coordinator blatantly ignore that document once already, in this very election.
