[PASSED] Amendment to the PfS Charter |

First, on the topic of the numbers: With 7 regions, there are 4 scenarios where an abstain brings something else than it did before. I'll go through all of them; for brevity, I'll use the format <Aye>-<Nay>-<Abstain/Absent> to show scenarios.
So basically, the specific scenario you described is the only one where a malicious Abstain is even worth it, and is a gamble because not only can it then be brought to pass by any non-abstain vote by a until-then absent delegation, it's also an unlikely scenario to occur - I've yet to see a recommendation vote that didn't easily pass the new quorum requirement. Second, the general feeling when I brought it up was that if this scenario were to actually matter (i.e. somebody decides to use a malicious Abstain rather than Nay), it would merely be a symptom of a bigger problem within the alliance or at least that specific member.

If it fails quorum the first time around, there will be a second vote later, so in that regard there is a functional difference. But even if that was not the case, it'd be better to not admit when there is so much ambivalence. Adding a new member has a high threshold for passing because it's meant to be more a consensus in the first place. |
