From: "Joseph W. DeVincentis" <[email-masked]>
Subject: Acka: Proposal 3692 *ACCEPTED*

The results originally posted for this proposal were wrong in that:
1. saaremaa had gone on vacation
2. Vynd was no longer a member of Vulcan
3. the proposal made quorum, and passed.

The Green Ripper is now NonVoting but cast his vote on this proposal
while he was voting; votes are not voided when a player becomes NonVoting
(but they are when he becomes On Ice).  The quorum rule includes all
players who cast valid votes in the head count, as well as any who were
eligible to vote at the end of the proposal's voting period but did not
do so.  So he counts in the head count, and the head count is 20, despite
there being only 19 voting players now.

BTW, for those who haven't figured it out yet, in the first vote total line
where I say if a proposal meets quorum (the 12/20, 7 YES votes below), this
includes only votes and players who count for the quorum; the second line
with vote totals is given only when a proposal meets quorum, and includes
all the YES and NO votes properly cast on the proposal, for determination
of the 60% passage rule.

Here are the corrected results:

Proposal 3692

8/12 YES votes: proposal accepted
