[Lnc-business] Seeking Co-Sponsors for Policy Manual Amendment regarding Electronic Mail Voting

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

Here is the suggestion I have:

In the event that a Regional Representative casts an explicit abstention in
lieu of a yes or no vote, this shall preclude or over-ride any vote being
counted from the Regional Alternate but not factored into the passage
threshold for any motion that does not require a set vote of the entire LNC.

My reasons for this:
1.  It is not counted as a vote - and that is not what our bylaws say.  It
is taken as an indication of present and not yielding to the alternate.
2.  Some motions require a percentage of the entire LNC and in such a case
that vote IS taken towards the passage threshold.
