Does the current text mean that "votes" will no longer be used? That was an [[Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_board_manual#Votes_vs._resolutions.2C_quorum_and_required_majority|old question]] of mine ("Only resolutions seem to exist"). --[[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 17:35, 27 December 2013 (UTC) |

I'm happy to see that now "abstention" can only mean "recusal" as [[Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_board_manual#Votes_vs._resolutions.2C_quorum_and_required_majority|necessary]]. I don't understand where the part about "missing" went though, because everyone present votes "yes" by default but I don't see a procedure to re-check the number of attendees. --[[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 17:50, 27 December 2013 (UTC) |

Translation?
Hi!
Is this stable enough to be marked for translation? :)
Cheers, Jean-Fred (talk) 00:14, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Jean-Frederic. This version is the final one for now; however, we will be updating probably once every 3-6 months, as the Board's processes change or new topics need to be addressed. Cheers, Geoff Geoffbrigham (talk) 00:25, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
- Jean-Fred, there's a lot of proofreading to do, maybe we can make a pass first. --Nemo 08:32, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
- Geoff: Thanks for the answer. An update every 3-6 months update is manageable I think.
- Nemo: Sure (I won’t have any time soon to follow up on this anyway :-)

Links to Meta
Links to Meta appear to follow semi-random methods: meta:/m: interwiki links, internal links, external links. If this document needs to be interoperable on multiple wikis, we can use the "m" prefix which is designed for that purpose; otherwise, let's please use internal links. --Nemo 17:10, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
- Hello @Nemo bis: the document must be interoperable, so the "m" prefix is preferred. Thanks for checking! Stephen LaPorte (WMF) (talk) 17:16, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
"non-member officers participate in Board meetings"
Needs a source. Also, "participate" is too generic a term. --Nemo 17:13, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
Votes deprecated?
Does the current text mean that "votes" will no longer be used? That was an old question of mine ("Only resolutions seem to exist"). --Nemo 17:35, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
Board books
Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_Handbook#Actions_at_Board_meetings, "meeting minutes should be approved, certified and included in the Board books": needs to cover when resolutions' and minutes' text (including votes) becomes final and can no longer be changed by board members or others. --Nemo 17:50, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
Required majorities
I'm happy to see that now "abstention" can only mean "recusal" as necessary. I don't understand where the part about "missing" went though, because everyone present votes "yes" by default but I don't see a procedure to re-check the number of attendees. --Nemo 17:50, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
