You're right.  Sorry.

Ben, I disagree.  If abtentions don't count except toward quorum, 1 yes vote
and 2 abstentions gets counted as 100% yes votes by browsers, meeting the
50%+1 requirement.

No.  That would not meet the  threshold.
Abstention is  for purposes of  calculating quorum only.

I'm trying to sort out how abstain "votes" relate to ballot outcomes as per
our bylaws.  2.2(e) says "Only votes that indicate a clear 'yes' or 'no'
response to the ballot question shall be considered (i.e. votes to abstain
and votes that do not indicate a clear 'yes' or 'no' response will not
figure in the calculation of item 6, below)."  
 
The "item 6, below" appears to mean (f) which says "at least 50% plus one of
the votes cast by the members in the browser category must be in favor of
the motion".
 
Am I correct that this means a ballot with 2 abstain "votes" from browsers,
one "yes" vote from a browser, and no other browser response would meet the
"50% +1" threshold for browsers?
 
Thanks,
Peter
