Understanding resolutions

Approve means the board member voted and this vote was YES.
Oppose means the board member voted and this vote was NO.
Abstain means the board member voted and this vote was "no opinion". An abstentions count as a vote.
Missing means the board member was not present at the board meeting, or did not come to vote on the wiki page. Like abstentions, this counts as a vote.
Recuse means the board member was present, but did not vote because of a declared conflict-of-interest. A recusal does not count as a vote.

As of July 2008, there were 8 voting members. When no board members recuse themselves, a resolution passed with 5 YES votes. When there is a recusal, a resolution passed with 4 YES votes, as the number of voting members was reduced to 7.

As of August 2009, there are 9 voting members. A resolution passes with 5 YES votes.
