X.org election results

[Posted April 10, 2015 by corbet]

As was discussed in this LWN article, the X.Org Foundation recently held an election to choose four board members and decide whether to change the organization's by-laws to enable it to become a member of Software in the Public Interest (SPI). The results are now available. The board members elected are Peter Hutterer, Martin Peres, Rob Clark, and Daniel Vetter. The measure to change the by-laws did not pass, though, despite receiving only two "no" votes, because the required two-thirds majority was not reached.

OK so the bylaws change received 35 yes votes and 2 no votes, and it failed because turnout was too low? And they can't join SPI until they manage to pass the change, right?

Looks like they're stuck with this sucky system, since even if they voted 41-0 to remove the turnout requirement to change the bylaws, it wouldn't be enough votes. :)
