Bylaw references
Bylaw
2.3(6) requires:
- a "yes" vote by two-thirds of Certificate Issuer votes and
50%-plus-one Certificate Consumer votes for approval. Votes
to abstain are not counted for this purpose. This requirement
was met for both Certificate Issuers and Certificate
Consumers.
- at least one Certificate Issuer and one Certificate Consumer
Member must vote in favor of a ballot for the ballot to be
adopted. This requirement was also met.
Under Bylaw
2.3(7), "a ballot
result will be considered valid only when more than half of
the number of currently active Members has participated".
Votes to abstain are counted in determining a quorum. Half of currently active
Members as of the start of voting was 14, so quorum was
15 votes – quorum was met.
