[Tagging] Abstaining in a proposal vote (Re: Feature Proposal - Voting - give box)

[Andrew Davidson]

There are many things about the proposal process that seem a little odd and
we could spend a lot of time debating them. I'd rather just concentrate on
the question of parliamentary procedure.

Doesn't matter, even if there were thousands of comments they still aren't
votes.

Well this is one of those odd things. There is a RFC period, where people
are invited to...well..make comments. Once this is done it goes to a vote
where we invite people to vote or make comments...hang on didn't we just
have a RFC period? Isn't it too late to be asking for comments? What is the
proponent (before we even start worrying about the yes voters) supposed to
do with these now? You can't change a proposal part way through the voting
period. How "critical" is a comment from a user that wasn't concerned
enough to vote no?
