Voting

Introduced a third option for voting: next to

• "yes" (green) or
• "no" (red)

we introduce

• "postponed" (white): voted unanimously yes

• Minimum of 2 votes difference, else postponed automatically
• Not 50% for green, then it is not yes?

Note takers:

• sandb
• Vincent L.
• fred m.

Everybody counts votes if close call. General remark: rejected does not mean it definatly rejected,

Discussion on voting; do we go for classic voting and forgo the adaption?
