This is a vote to amend how votes and abstentions are counted for Operational Staff and Moderator promotions. This would not make any changes to the promotion procedures for Administrators.
If passed this proposal will replace the following portions of the Promotions Procedure and Promotions Policy.
Relevant portion of the Promotions Procedure to be replaced:
All "Yes" votes are counted in favor, and all "No" votes are counted as opposed. Candidates can have no more than 1/3 of the staff participating in that round of promotions abstaining, as well as at least 60% of those who do vote for them to vote yes (as is standard) to gain promotion to operational staff.
Relevant portion of the Promotions Policy to be replaced:
In order for a candidate to pass and be promoted, 60% of cast votes must be for yes, counting abstentions. For a promotion vote to successfully pass, Quorum of active staff must be met as defined by the site charter, with abstentions counting towards Quorum. Staff may abstain from voting for candidates of any rank.
The following text is proposed to replace the above quoted sections:
All "Yes" votes are counted in favor, and all "No" votes are counted as opposed. Candidates must receive a greater number of "Yes" votes than "No" votes to gain promotion to either Operational Staff or Moderator. For a promotion vote to successfully pass, Quorum of active staff must be met as defined by the Site Charter, with abstentions counting towards Quorum.
This vote is open to Operational Staff and above. Per the Site Charter, for this proposal to pass a minimum of 30% of active staff (15 staff members) must participate and a majority (>50%) of votes must be cast in favor.
Please vote YES if you are in favor of the above proposal. Vote NO if you are opposed.
