OMG TC Faxvotes Status
|
Voting on OMG technologies (called a poll) is initiated at the plenary meeting of either the Domain or Platform Technology Committee. The purpose of this poll is to recommend (or not) adoption of a technology (proposed submission, finalization report or revision report) to the OMG Board of Directors. The poll taken at the plenary meeting captures the stated preference of those eligible Members present. It is followed by a ballot sent to each Member's Registered Voter.
For any poll to be valid, 50% of Registered TC Voters must vote on the technology. This is the poll's quorum. The earliest a poll can close is six weeks after it was initiated. Normally, a poll takes eight weeks to close. While the poll remains open, Registered Voters may alter an already-cast vote. In order for a Vote to Recommend to pass, two-thirds of non-abstaining votes cast must be in the affirmative - "TO RECOMMEND". (A vote to "ABSTAIN" counts towards meeting the poll's quorum but does not count as a recommendation vote.) A poll not meeting its quorum or not receiving the necessary percentage of affirmative votes by the time it closes automatically fails.
The following polls are currently underway:
