Voting Process

The KoG project strives to operate as a consensus-based community. However, if any decision requires a vote, the Governing Board (GB) and Committees follow a set procedure.

General Rules

• Voting Rights: Each voting member has one vote.
• Quorum: Requires the presence of two-thirds of all voting members of the GB or respective Committee.
• Decision-Making Capability: Decisions can be made when the quorum is met.
• Majority: Decisions are made by the majority of voting members present.

Voting Procedure

1. Announcement: The vote is placed on the agenda and communicated to all members.
2. Discussion: Open discussion on the matter to be decided.
3. Voting: Members cast their votes.
4. Evaluation: Votes are counted, and the result is determined.
5. Announcement of Results: The outcome is communicated to all members.
6. Documentation: The voting result is recorded and archived.

Electronic Voting
