Understanding resolutions
- Approve means the board member voted and this vote was YES.
- Oppose means the board member voted and this vote was NO.
- Abstain means the board member voted and this vote was "no opinion". An abstentions count as a vote.
- Missing means the board member was not present at the board meeting, or did not come to vote on the wiki page. Like abstentions, this counts as a vote.
- Recuse means the board member was present, but did not vote because of a declared conflict-of-interest. A recusal does not count as a vote.
As of July 2008, there were 8 voting members. A resolution normally passes with 5 YES votes. When there is a recusal, a resolution can pass with 4 YES votes, as the number of voting members was reduced to 7.
As of August 2009, there were 9 voting members. A resolution passes with 5 YES votes.
As of March 2010, there are 10 voting members. A resolution passes with 6 YES votes. When there is a recusal, a resolution can pass with 5 YES votes.
The Board passes Resolutions and Votes; the former are formal decisions that must be made public; the latter are routine decisions such as advisory board appointments, approval of minutes for publication, or changes to internal Board processes. Passed Resolutions are published unless otherwise requested by the Chair; failed Resolutions are generally not published. Votes are often not published as such, but the result of the Votes is usually made public — for instance, minutes are published once a Vote to approve them has concluded; and minutes always list any Votes taken during a meeting.
