[NA-Discuss] WTF?

[Beau Brendler]

This has probably been explained before, but:

Please note that Beau Brendler participated in the vote on behalf of the unaffiliated members. While his vote is visible on the above URL, it is not counted towards quorum as according to rule 15, an affirmative vote of not less than 70% of active North American At-Large Structures is required to amend the NARALO Operating Principles.

What does that mean? Let's not pretend to give unaffiliated members a vote (in this particular case, a yes) if it's not going to be counted.
