After a quick tally, I believe these to be the final results of the vote:

Section 1: 4-6 (NO)

Section 2: 7-3 (YES)

Section 3: 8-2 (YES)

Section 4: 5-5 (NO by default)

Section 5: 6-4 (YES)

Section 6: 3-6 (NO)

Thanks to all that participated in the vote. Assuming these numbers are accurate, Sections 2, 3, and 5 will enter into effect immediately. 

Most likely in the near future I’ll be posting individual threads regarding amendments to sections 1 and 4 and how we can improve those, as I believe they’re integral policies we’re currently lacking.

Hello! 

This vote is on the changes proposed at https://lists.opennicproject.org/sympa/arc/discuss/2017-10/msg00135.html. The vote on adding these changes to the official OpenNIC policies will end on November 14, 2017 at 6:00 PM UTC. 

IMPORTANT, READ BEFORE VOTING: This vote is split up into 6 sections, which may be passed individually (they do not depend on each other). You should vote YES or NO on every section individually in an ordered list 1 through 6. This is an effort to get the portions the community most wants passed while keeping open the possibility of dropping certain topics that may require more discussion. If your reply contains only a single YES or NO, your vote will be counted as either YES or NO for all 6 sections proposed, respectively. Each of the six sections are labeled as such in the original proposal. 

Here’s a brief summary of the proposal, for your convenience. You should read the full proposal linked above prior to voting. 

- Very clear voting outcome requirements. Certain votes may now require more than the simple majority of votes that were required for any proposals in the past. 

- Clarified TLD proposal requirements. This should ensure an operator’s setup is configured prior to a proposal, and outline what exactly is necessary for any operator. 

- Voting and formal discussion threads posted to this list now have a very clear format that MUST be followed. This will prevent confusion on what the original poster is expecting from the community. 

- Formal discussions now have a strict minimum time requirement to be active before a vote can be pushed to the list. Voting threads now have very clear deadlines. 

- DNS operators now have certain minimum requirements to meet to keep the ability to operate key infrastructure components. 

- FUTURE peered networks now have requirements to meet before we enter an agreement with them.
