How does it affect “majority” when a member organization abstains?
The member has abstained from voting (i.e. chosen not to vote), so it does not count as a “yeah”, it does not count as a “nay” and it does not contribute to the number of votes (i.e. the denominator for calculating the majority). So if there are 4 voting members and two vote “yeah”, one votes “nay” and one abstains, the proposal would pass with a 66% majority (two out of the three votes cast being “yeah”).
