Harald sez:
I don't think the IAOC should be completely paralyzed by one member being on
holiday, ill or for other reasons unable to participate.
nor do I, and my suggestion does not cause that - my suggestion says
that if you want a majority vote then the majority is of all current
members of the IAOC not of some subset that happen to show up at a meeting
This is usually handled by quorum rules. I think the IAOC should set those
(and publish them).
Bert asked about that and I think that having quorum rules is fine -
but I'm assuming that most IAOC decisions will be made electonically
rather than face to face so I do not think that establishing a quorum
for face to face (or telephony) meetings changes the number that
the determination of a majority vote works on - basically I'm
saying that the IAOC should work on the same rules IETF WGs do and
verify decisions on their mailing list (if one or more members
miss a face to face or telephone meeting)

I think it must be made clear that all IAOC decision making involves
all IAOC members then in office - not just a subset that might show up
at a meeting or on a phone call
maybe add: "All IAOC decision making includes all IAOC members then in
office."
I cannot find a previous message from you with the word "subset" in it, but
you may have used some other phrase - but I disagree with your proposal; I
don't think the IAOC should be completely paralyzed by one member being on
holiday, ill or for other reasons unable to participate.
This is usually handled by quorum rules. I think the IAOC should set those
