Re: [atlarge-discuss] No quorum

["Hans Klein" <hans.klein@pubpolicy.gatech.edu>]

Please allow me to clear up some conclusion on voting behavior.

In my experience in serving on boards, many votes finish either with a 
"pass" or with a "no quorum."  People often hesitate to cast a "no" vote, 
because that can cause bad feelings.  By withholding their vote, 
panelists/directors can kill a motion without anyone voting against 
it.  That is common diplomatic behavior.

I believe that the two motions did not achieve quorums, because they were 
not supported.  (We did not at that time have rights to 
"ICANNatlarge.org".  The motions were actually premature.)

So the two "no quorums" are evidence that the Panel is making decisions.
