Changes to peering arrangements, introduction of new TLDs, and policy/charter amendments will be presented for discussion, then voted upon by the appropriate membership category. The vote process starts with public presentation of the issue in the appropriate forum, followed by a discussion window of not less than 7 days. After 7 days, a member of the OpenNIC community may motion a vote. The voting window will exist for 7 days, after which votes will be tallied and the decision made by the appropriate membership level will be announced. A simple majority of votes cast in favor of the issue (50% + 1) will determine whether the vote passes. Voting will be regulated by the below rules;
1. Voting has to be started with an Announce Email that has the Title "VOTE: Subject"
2. The Email must state what the vote is about
3. The Email must state what happens when voting yes, and no
4. The Email must state the start and end time in UTC!
5. Voting will begin no earlier than 7 days from the date and time the proposal has been posted.
6. The active voting period before the end time may not be less the 48 hours
~& New voting rules as voted in by the membership - 22/09/08
