Hi all, I do not believe that Beau put in in an SOI to become the "vote" of the unaffilated members nor do I believe that they voted for him to be their "voice". This is why we entrenched this position into the changes to the RoP. We need to have more formal votes for this position. I do not believe that our RoP gave a vote to the unaffiliated voice prior to the vote so this is now in force but was not before. That is my understanding of it, anyways. D Darlene A.

This has probably been explained before, but:
Please note that Beau Brendler participated in the vote on behalf of the unaffiliated members. While his vote is visible on the above URL, it is not counted towards quorum as according to rule 15, an affirmative vote of not less than 70% of active North American At-Large Structures is required to amend the NARALO Operating Principles.
What does that mean? Let's not pretend to give unaffiliated members a vote (in this particular case, a yes) if it's not going to be counted.
Beau, I don't know why it was not counted and will check into it. If you participated in the vote then your vote counts and is part of the quorum. I apologize on behalf of the process that may have inadvertently missed your mention. Of course, as you and I both know, the purpose of this vote was to codify and formalize what had until been an informal and not-fully-recognised role of unaffiliated members and their representatives within NARALO and At-Large. - Evan ------ NA-Discuss mailing list NA-Discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/na-discuss Visit the NARALO online at http://www.naralo.org <http://www.naralo.org/> ------
