If you disregard abstentions, it is a majority decision. More yes's than no's means you get in. I think the voter should have to pick one or the other, and not be allowed to abstain from any candidate(s).
I also wonder how it was decided that only RC's can vote for these candidates. Why not NC's also. Why not the peasant-class of nodelisted sysops? I saw somewhere in this conversation recently (I think) that it was deemed that only RC's would have the requisite intelligence/knowledge to know if a particular candidate was qualified for such a job. I disagree with that assumption very strongly.
Oh well. I shall go back to my peasantly duties now.
