Hello Mawaki,
2. that there's no notion of majority (not even relative majority) in voting issue report: if 27% of the council members on the call vote for the IR, and 30% vote against, there will still be an IR.
Is my understanding correct?
Correct. It is a bit unusual as it is not so much a Council resolution, as it is a request from some members of Council. As Chuck points out, the confusion is in the term "members" and "vote". As the bylaws use the words "vote of at least 25% of the members", I have interpreted that to invoke the rules regarding weighted voting. If it had said "at the request of 25% of the members present" I would not have included the count of the vote. In any case, I will ensure that the minutes count the result both ways (no. of members, and no. of votes cast). Regards, Bruce Tonkin
