# CWC Vote

*Members of a specific Committee may invoke a "Committee vote".* 

*A member of a Core Working Committee e.g. a Project or an Independent CWC such as Treasury CWC members may call for the "Committee Vote" by all members of the specific CWC body.*

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:purple;">There are many purposes for which a "Committee vote" may take place. It can be a new nomination, a resolution on a community proposal for action by the Foundation, or simply a matter of a project's proceedings.</mark>

<mark style="color:purple;">Whatever the reason may be, a "Committee vote" shall be organised when the subject matter has reached a state of visible consensus-building exercise in the Foundation's community.(within 72 hours)</mark>\ <mark style="color:purple;">Each decision arrived out of the Committee vote shall be ratified by the Executive Council.</mark>
{% endhint %}

#### For members of a body of Open Council, it is important to note that

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:green;">**Electoral Process for any "Committee Resolution" is conditional to a quorum.**</mark>&#x20;

\ <mark style="color:green;">**a.**</mark> <mark style="color:green;"></mark><mark style="color:green;">Quorum is achieved when a minimum of half</mark> <mark style="color:green;">of all the Committee members, participate in the Committee Resolution - "Committee Vote".</mark>\ <mark style="color:green;">**b.**</mark> <mark style="color:green;"></mark><mark style="color:green;">A decision is received in favour of the Committee's Resolution - "Committee Vote", when the majority of all the participating members of the Committee, vote "+1".</mark>\
\ <mark style="color:green;">E.g.: Let's say there are 7 Open Bank CWC members.</mark>&#x20;

<mark style="color:green;">At least 4 members shall participate in the  "Committee Vote" to achieve quorum. This is the qualifying state for the Committee Resolution to be logged on the Open Constitution public ledger.</mark>\ <mark style="color:green;">For any Committee Resolution to be electorally approved, the "Committee Vote" should receive at least half of the total votes(required for quorum), in the favour of any Committee Resolution.</mark>\
\
\&#xNAN;*<mark style="color:green;">So, in this example, 2 (+1) votes of the participating 4 Committee members will do the job.</mark>*<mark style="color:green;">😒</mark> &#x20;
{% endhint %}

\
For any Committee resolution to qualify for a vote, it shall be first proposed in the community as a **"Community Proposal"**. Don't forget this step. 😱  &#x20;

1. For each Committee resolution, the "Committee Vote" is generally held for 72 hours, such that members from different time zones can respond to the Vote. \
   The period to cast a vote may also be extended in cases requiring attention and if two or more members request to do so.
2. The Committee Vote is broadcast on the private mailing list maintained by each CWC.&#x20;
