[jakarta.ee-spec.committee] How to work out super-majority positive vote

["Emily Jiang" <EMIJIANG@xxxxxxxxxx>]

 

Please excuse me for asking this simple question as I could not find it documented anywhere. I am struggling to understand how to work out super-majority positive votes. I have the following scenario:

10 voting members

5 voted +1

2 voted -1

3 abstain 0

 

When trying to work out super-majority positive votes, I deducted 3 abstained members from 10 members first, so the voting base is 7. Therefore, the super majority is 7 * 2/3 = 4.6. In this case, the vote passed with super majority positive votes.

 

Am I correct?

 

if not, I will be confused as -1 and 0 has no difference.

 

Thanks
Emily
