Check one:

  • Semantic Change: something about the meaning of the text is different
  • Non-semantic Change: Spelling, grammar, or formatting changes.

Summary of change(s):

Fixes an edge case where the number of people eligible to vote on an issue might? be able to change during the execution of the vote.

Does not fix the issue raised by @jabbate19. My interpretation is that the Intro Evaluation is a vote to extend an offer of active membership, as opposed to an immediate granting of active membership, so I don't see an issue there. I wouldn't be against an additional amendment to make that part more clear, however.

Please note that with these changes, quorum does not change during the duration of a vote either, since it is a fraction of the number of eligible votes.

This should probably say that neither the number of eligible votes nor the set of eligible voters can change during a vote.

The number of Active Members eligible to vote on the issue.
The eligible voters for a vote are determined and fixed when that vote is called.

Hmm, so if someone becomes active during the ballot period for an amendment, they would not be eligible? Or how is called defined here? Called for or called as resolved?
