Voting Time IRC Log

<MichaelC> can you vote if you join in the middle of a voting period? You can I think?
<Crell> I don't know that we have an existing rule on that front.  I'd think the membership as of when the vote is called is what matters.
<Crell> Although Typo3 changed reps mid-vote, not changed its membership, so Karsten should be able to vote on open votes right now.
<MichaelC> yeah
<MichaelC> if Abbas gets through can he vote on Beau though. ;)
<Crell> No, Beau's vote started before Abbas was a member.
<Crell> Or am I confused about who you mean... That's the OWASP guy, right?
<MichaelC> but Abbas' vote will finish before Beaus'
<Crell> But OWASP won't be a member as of when Beau's vote began.
<MichaelC> oh
<MichaelC> so it's the beginning of the vote, not the end. ;)
<Crell> Well we don't have a written policy on that, I think.
<Crell> But IMO that's how it should work.
<MichaelC> hm
<MichaelC> we should probably put something in the bylaw about that
<Crell> Yes.
<MichaelC> I'll make a topic in a bit. Need to sort something out
<simensen> "Once voting has completed and if the application has been deemed accepted, the PHP project will become a Member Project with immediate effect."
<simensen> It would seem to me that once a project's vote has completed, they can vote on anything currently on the table.
<Crell> hm.
<simensen> "The time limit on a vote is 14 days from the time of the call for votes, or until all voting members have cast their vote, whichever comes first."
