Hi
Perhaps those that didn’t vote could (even if its privately) say why you didn’t vote. If you are indifferent, there was the abstention option.
It is no good organising another vote if people aren’t going to vote again.

The e-vote was chosen for simplicity, with a one-week duration it should have given everyone ample time to vote.
I was disappointed, not in the vote itself, but the lack of voting. The procedures set an extremely high bar with 12/15 of ALL members required to vote affirmatively.
I’m not sure why anonymity is required for this vote, or if that has been the historical “norm”.
A good item for discussion.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Martin,
Bigger questions transparency wise. - why are these anonymous?
Valid point, there is no reason for them to be anonymous but it doesn't restrict them from making it as well. Chairs can make the call.
- what procedure allows for procedure changes by electronic vote?
You can have elections via show of hands during in-person meeting, attendance/roll-call vote during online meeting or evote as well. All 3 are available options to change the operating procedures. You just need 80% majority i.e. 12 votes in favor of the change to make it happen.
Thanks all,
