[[--Translated text (es -> en)--]] Subject: Re: VOTE RESULTS: Confirmation LACRALO Poll - ALAC Representative (2015 AGM - 2017 AGM) From: rok@bango.org.bb Dear Staff, I question your interpretation of esta outcome. Since there was only one nomination, the onus is on the no vote to win. An abstention is not a non- vote but it is a vote and Hence it even though not a yes vote, can not be Counted as a no vote. THEREFORE the vote must not Exceed all other votes to win. In This case it has not. Note That this is not a matter of adding the abstentions to the yes vote. There are three results and for any result to win it must Exceed the Total amount of the other results plus one. Note That very Clearly this is not a vote for more than one candidate only Where the yes and no votes count.Here is a matter to confirm a candidate and the only way That candidate can lose is if the majority vote of the group votes no. Especially In This case Where this is an online vote Which Gives The entire group the opportunity to vote over time. , According to our rules on quorum is not required for an online vote for the specific fact That All members are Deemed to be present. UNLESS Deemed a member is inactive, it would seem to That I Should be the no vote of half plus one The entire group and not just Those half plus one of voting, Where It Should not matter whether or not all Voted yes the other members, abstained or did not vote. My understanding is That LACRALO has 47 members. Hence it will not vote of 23.5 + 1 = 24.5 votes would Have to be amounted by the no vote in order to win. You are not worrying About a quorum Deemed Because all members are present. Even if you did it based on the amount voting, the vote still not Loses since the requirement would be 21.5 + 22.5 = 1 votes votes and since there are no half votes, That would be 23 votes to win 22.5 Because You need votes to win. It would seem to me That in the spirit of a democratic and transparent process and Where one person is to be confirmed, That the onus must be on the no vote to Exceed half of the members of the constituency. FOR THOSE WHO abstained or did not vote, there is only one consideration and That Is That if more than half the group did not want to confirm a candidate, They would rise up and Ensure They Voted no. That did not happen in esta case. Sufficient people did not say no or not and Hence it Voted the confirmation process is complete in Favour of the candidate. Any other way of esta interpreting can only run counter to the spirit of democracy and would be less than transparent. Actually bordering on unfair and manipulative. THEREFORE I am calling on staff to recall That message and post to correct message based on the fact That the no vote needs 23 votes since all Assumed members are present and a result is based on the majority of the constituency Because there is only one candidate in the confirmation process. Thanking you for your cooperation.
