You said you want a month of voting time. That’d be impossible, because
before voting can start, two weeks need to pass, §5(1) VotR. That is,
between voting announcement and start of voting there is a leap time of
two weeks.

No, I had not accounted for this 2 week delay.  Since we have not started the team nominations vote yet and since only about 3.5 weeks are left, it may be of a bit less use to start an early vote now.  I was largely delayed in responding to this with some job hunting things that distracted / occupied me.

I think there is a good chance we may have 4 or more core team members who will not make it to the IRC team meeting, so there is a good chance Kirbyfan64 and skarfester will not have voting rights if voted on in the IRC meeting, based on a 2/3rds majority of all team members.  Keep in mind not everyone has been participating recently.  I think we may be being a little too rigid regarding what is obviously an error in the voting rules document (it is an error because the team additions and team removals rules are inconsistent), but I am not going to tell the team what to do when this is a legal voting rules question.

[quote]Do you have a concrete phrasing proposal?[/quote]

My last statement on the voting was clear, but these are the exact quotes from the voting document:

Section: Acquisition of Membership

Change: "The vote requires that two thirds of the existing team
members vote in favour of adding the new person to the team."

To: "The vote requires that two thirds of the team members voting on a team addition
vote in favour of adding the new person to the team."

--this is the technical change

Section: End of Membership
Change: "The team reserves the right to remove any person at any
time, for any reason, through a vote. This requires a two
thirds majority, and the candidate for removal is not al-
lowed to cast a vote."

To: "The team reserves the right to remove any person at any
time, for any reason, through a vote. This requires a two
thirds majority of those voting, and the candidate for removal is not al-
lowed to cast a vote."

--this is for clarity

Section: Changes
Change: "Changes to this document require a vote whose winning op-
tion passes with at least two thirds of the team members being
in favour of it."
To: "Changes to this document require a vote whose winning op-
tion passes with at least two thirds of ALL team members being
in favour of it."

--this is for clarity


@Quintus, what are your thoughts?
