Change: NO, pending clarification. Per clause 3, am i understanding correctly that a proposal would pass with only three yes votes?

Per clause 3, am i understanding correctly that a proposal would pass with only three yes votes?

If only three people voted in the 7-day period and they all voted YES, then, yes a proposal could pass. This is an increase from the current 2.

 

[Gabriel]

So majority vote, with a minimum of three "Ayes". In that case, YES.

 

[Wes]

This proposal PASSES.
