[Infrastructure] Vote tracking excel

[Inigo Barreira]

Hi all,

 

During today´s collection of votes for SC70 I´ve realized that the list of CAs and Browsers is out of date.

CAB Forum Voting - Ballot Tracker - Google Sheets

 

There´re CAs that no longer exist and more Browsers to add for example. And I haven´t considered the latest applications so the number can vary a bit more. I think it does not affect to the results of the ballots due to the number of CAs voting but the way the browser votes are counted can be an issue due to that 50%+1.

 

Also would be good to know when to start reviewing the “participation” of the different members and look for suspensions. The new charter was approved and published in December (BTW, there´s no date on the new version 1.3 and no way to find old version, if that´s of interest) and don´t know when this is applicable.

We use the tool in the membership management portal now to track the votes.

I just want to chime in that the membership management portal is so helpful for WG chairs!

Best, Stephen

But this does not know if for example the browsers voting has been the 50% plus 1, it´s a manual process, right? At the end is used to copy/paste what happened.

That´s why I asked time ago in this group to clarify/decide what to do with the google docs and what to do where and how. Right now, I think we duplicate things because it´s not clear which one to use.

For example, I gave up using the excel for the quorum and use the membership tool but maybe some other are still using/updating that spreadsheet.

It´s a bit frustrating.

I don't think the membership management tool processes all the votes as the Google spreadsheet. We still need to use both:

1. The membership tool to check for the proper voting representatives
2. the spreadsheet to calculate the rules according to the Bylaws (2/3, 50%+1, Quorum, etc).

And also needs an update, not only regarding the new chapter requirements, but also regarding “old” organizations. For example, I see in the browsers side Brave, Comodo, … and in the CAs, Network Solutions, Prvni, …

But don´t know how to do that update. It´s not clear on how to or when start applying the new charter, organizations that never/barely showed up, …

Or maybe do nothing.

It doesn't hurt to keep, one can check past votings if they want to :)

Once we move the functionality in the membership tool, we can stop using the spreadsheet. However, the spreadsheet is useful for transparency and allows everyone to verify the results.
