Yes, abstaining does not equal voting. Yes, according to the TB Guidelines abstaining does constitute
participation. Yes, according to TB Guidelines a motion shall pass if two-thirds of TalkBoard members
participating in that vote vote ‘yes.' Not two-thirds of those voting either for or against the motion, two-thirds of TalkBoard members
participating in that vote.
If you favor a rewording of that section why not ask two TBers to propose an ammendment and debate the verbiage further? Should that happen perhaps other sections of the TB Guidelines should be subjected to as much scrutiny for similarly suspect script.
