−	'''A''': The [http://www.osgeo.org/content/foundation/incorporation/bylaws.html bylaws] (section 4.5) describe that a majority of members must be present for an event to be considered a meeting. At a meeting, each member present is given one vote. Strictly speaking (according to the bylaws) an affirmative vote by the majority of members present at a meeting constitutes a decision by the board. In practice, we don't consider a motion passed if there are any negative votes (see the page [[Board Voting Procedure]] that explains voting notations +1, +0, -0, -1).
