Three Common Mistakes
A motionto find a negative nonpersuasive does notpass and is considered resolved as persuasive.There are no default resolutions.Amotion must pass the 40% and 2/3 rules to resolve a negative.A negative was withdrawn and considered resolved by making a change to the document.If a change is made to the document, another vote must occur to find the negative persuasive.A voter labels comments on a ballot as P, G, S, or E.Comments can only be labeled as N or A/C.
