but it is not recorded and indiscernible from not voting. there is a difference from abstention and not voting and they are not equal. one would have to know the choice was made and not just failing to vote.
Let's say we had accommodated the following:
Do we keep change the project name?
[ ] Yes [ ] No [ ] Abstain
Now, are we running a vote to understand the community's wish regarding changing or keeping the project name, or are we running a survey about how the community feels about changing the project name?
With the wording I would argue we aren't doing either. That question does not address the voter's wish. What about being more explicit and remove some room for interpretation?: Do you support... yes or no Do you agree... yes or no Do you wish... yes or no Or like Gerald's approach: [ ] I am in favor of (one side of the decision) or [ ] I am in favor of (other side of the decision) When I see the current question my answer is "I don't know? Do we?" -Scott
