Hi Daniel, In that scenario, only 50 members would be voting and 950 would be abstaining from the vote. So 26 would be the target needed for a resolution to achieve a majority and pass. The Articles of Association provide more details on how the voting works, but they do note that "Abstentions and invalid votes shall be considered as not having been cast. All votes, both valid and invalid, and all abstentions shall be recorded in the minutes." https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-818/#article-18-general-meeting-...

Fergal,
Would you not require a majority vote on each item for it to be adopted?
If for example, we have 1,000 members registered to vote, but 950 of them abstained from voting on the charging scheme, surely you could not in good conscious pass any of the options?

Hi Clément,
The Abstain option will be there for all resolutions and for the Board election, and this will indeed be reflected in the reporting as usual.
And although the Abstains are recorded, they don't count towards the results of the vote. Only the preferential choices count towards the result. And it's worth pointing out that for the charging scheme vote, members can vote for all three options in order of preference, or they can choose just one or two options.
All the best, Fergal

Yes, but those votes need to happen at the GM, not on the mailing list :)
Actually, I have no clue on what to vote at next GM regarding the charging scheme. None of the proposal is OK with what I would like to see.
I hope the abstain option will be taken into consideration. I wouldn't like not to vote, as my opinion won't be reflected if I simply do not vote.
