RESULTS of the Vote for Rules of Order for the Mailing Lists
of the GA of the DNSO

Electorate: 252 persons in a vote roster, when the ballot was sent out

Voted: 56

Vote results:
*  46 votes [X] Yes, the rules should be adopted.
*   3 votes [X] No, the present rules should remain in force.
*   6 votes [X] No, I accept neither the present nor the proposed ruleset.
and 1 vote blanc.

According to the voting rules in use
   http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/2000.GA-voting-rules.html:

   5. In the case where the question is a new rule or rule change 
      for the GA, the number of votes in favour of the winning 
      alternative must be at least 2/3 of cast votes, with a minimum 
      number of cast votes being the lower of 20% of the registered 
      voters or 100 votes. 

The number of cast votes is 56. 

To be adopted, an alternative shall be supported by "2/3 of cast votes",
i.e. 38, with a minimum number of cast votes being the "lower of 20% 
of the registered voters or 100 votes", i.e. 51. 

Therefore the proposed rules are adopted (46 "Yes" is greater than 38,
the number of cast votes, 56, is greater than 51).
