We need a clear set of rules, which we follow, regardless of how we feel about the outcome. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Underwood, Keith D Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2012 5:21 AM To: Main MPI Forum mailing list Subject: Re: [Mpi-forum] ticket 273 <note to self: don't eat Jeff's brownies> :-) There are scenarios we need to address in the voting, though. Votes that go 1/0/15 shouldn't pass. Votes that go 6/5/5 probably shouldn't pass. Votes that go 8/1/7 clearly suck, and we should stop doing that! Seriously, though, it is not immediately clear that an 8/1/7 vote should pass. If there is that much apathy about a ticket, does the standard need to grow? Keith

Given that not being in the room means abstain, this new rule gives me a strong incentive to bake laxative-laced brownies when #281 goes up for a second vote.

In other words, I agree that the new rules are stupid and that Mohamad is quite justified in being annoyed at his ticket being voted down since it was clearly favored by everyone who cared to voice an opinion.

If the abstains are because people don't care or don't understand what is being voted on or missed the vote (which are the reasons why I vote abstain), then the new voting rule doesn't really make sense.
