[members-discuss] [comms-circle] Re: [ncc-announce] [GM] Executive Board Meeting to Discuss Charging Scheme Input from Members

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."

All the best,
Fergal
