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". Abstain counts 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". Missing 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 June 2008, the total number of voters is 8. When no board members recuse themselves, a resolution passes with 5 YES votes. When there is a recusal, a resolution passes with 4 YES votes, because the number of voting members is reduced to 7.
