Consensus Voting OptionsThe goal is unanimous consent on the final Use Case for the Local Data Access Framework (DAF), which is obtained by carefully considering and addressing significant input from the Community of Interest. Each Initiative Member will provide one of the following votes during the Consensus process:
  • Yes
    • A Yes vote does not necessarily mean that the deliverable is the ideal one from the perspective of the Initiative Member, but that it is better to move forward than to block the deliverable.
  • Yes with comments
    • If a Consensus Process attracts significant comments (through Yes with comment votes), it is expected that the comments be addressed in a future revision of the deliverable.
  • Formal Objection with comments
    • Indicating a path to address the objection in a way that meets the known concerns of other members of the Community of Interest. "Formal Objection" vote without such comments will be considered Abstain votes.
    • Should a Consensus Process attract even one "Formal Objection" vote with comments from an Initiative Member, the deliverable must be revised to address the "Formal Objection" vote (unless an exceptional process is declared).
  • Abstain (decline to vote)

NOTE: Only one vote will be counted per committed organization no matter how many individuals from that organization are committed members. If committed members of an organization have conflicting votes, those votes will need to be reconciled to the vote that best represents the committed organization. For example, if one member of ACME Corp. votes "Yes (with comment)" another member from ACME Corp. cannot vote "Object (with comment)." Since ACME Corp. gets one vote per organization the member's votes would need to be reconciled to one vote.
