Asynchronous Voting Policy
- Grants Committee votes can be taken by a role-gated poll
- Ex: Seshbot poll, gated by role
- Poll description must include a link to relevant discussion and/or consensus measurement.
- Ex: Forum post, Discord poll/thread
- The poll options are explicitly as follows:
- For
- Against
- Abstain
- Discuss
- Polls expire in 7 Days
- If a poll collects votes from all members, it concludes before the expiration
- If there is a tie that prevents a conclusive result, the poll remains open until it expires
- This specifically allows for vote changes
- There must be as many votes for “For”, “Against”, and “Abstain” as required by quorum
- Ex: Voting “Abstain” counts towards the total quorum requirement, and voting for “Discuss” does not
- Votes may be changed, so long as the poll has not been concluded
- Members are not required to vote until they are satisfied with the discussion
- A single vote for “Discuss” requires that the vote be taken synchronously at a Grants Committee meeting
- A Grants Committee member can call for a funding vote at any time by setting up a gated poll
- Calling for a vote does not require a meeting
