Voting
From NeXus
This is the mechanism for conducting online votes of the NIAC:
- The Article page is used to make a proposal, record an XML definition, provide documentation, etc.
- The Discussion page is used to discuss what is contained in the Article page.
- After a reasonable period for discussion, the executive secretary or other member of the NIAC proposes a motion based on the preceding discussion, at the end of the Discussion page.
- After the motion, there are separate sub-headings marked Yes, No, and Abstain.
- Each NIAC member adds their signature below the sub-heading representing their vote. They should vote by typing on a new line :~~~~. The colon ensures that the vote is formatted on a new line, while the ~~~~ records the committee members username and the time of entry.
Here is an example motion:
