[GSA Council] Two thirds majority "of members present"

[Mathilde Mbom]

Hello all,

1- After reading these emails with an open mind and discussing with Keroles on that subject, I think that we need to make a vote again on that motion  because people who abstained probably didn't know that their abstention would count as a NO vote.

2- The fact that Keroles just raised the issue now and not on previous motions doesn't change the fact that the impact on the abstention votes were not clear to all the members on Thursday  (and even at previous meetings). However, we should to reassess the validity of the previous motions that passed/failed where a super majority of votes  was  required.

3- I think exchanging these emails now could prevent us from discussing/debating about this subject in detail at the next council meeting. However, when the email targets one person directly, maybe sending personal emails will be better.

Thank you,

Mathilde
