Board_Meeting_2018-11-07

Voting procedure is explained, what a blocking means and how you can abstain with +0 or -0. Electronic voting need 100% of the votes but votes on a meeting only require voting. As a courtesy, we always pass an electronic voting even if the motion passed on a meeting.
Quick round about the continuity of using loomio. There’s agreement to continue using it, at least until there’s a better choice.
