Voting Rules:
For
a vote to occur there needs to be a motion made for a vote (by a board
member) and must be seconded by two other board members. Alternatively,
an expedited vote can be called by request if the motion is seconded by
one-third of the board. The vote will be posted to the public jQuery
board mailing list. Ideally the project leader will publish the vote but
in his absence it can be posted by another team member. If this message
is being read on a vote on the public jQuery board mailing list then a
motion has already been made and seconded by two board members.
For
a vote to be determined, a majority of all eligible board members able
to vote must vote in the affirmative. A vote is placed by responding to
this mailing list message with a '+1' (affirmative) or '-1' (negative)
indicator. 48 hours after the vote has been called the vote will be
closed. If at the close of the vote a majority of eligible board members
have not voted in the affirmative then the vote fails.
Voting
will be used primarily for adding and removing voting board members,
setting budgets and spending money, and making changes to the charter.
