Topic: Negative voter resistant to approved resolution

What are the options when a negative voter doesn't agree with the work-group approved resolution, and won't withdraw their vote? If I try to satisfy the negative voter, that would go against the resolution that was approved by the work group. The other way, they won't withdraw their vote.

for HL7 publication, if you have met the 60% approval requirements for STU, you can proceed to publication without all negatives being withdrawn. If it is a normative ballot you may have to recirculate the remaining negative(s) to inform the voters of the disposition of the outstanding negative.

@Lynn Laakso can you help me understand the vote tally for mCODE (Sept 2019) in terms of the 60%? image.png

Lynn Laakso (Feb 25 2020 at 14:49):

so, there's no reconciliation package posted (nudge, nudge).

STU approval is 60%. According to the ballot desktop you need 50 affirmative votes for approval. You have 70. Approval is achieved by total affirmatives and negatives (83), of which 60% is 49.8, or 50 affirmative votes.
