  19. addressed and whether they wish to change their vote.
  20. #. Voting results:
  21. * A vote of "+1" means support for a proposal
  22. * The neutral votes "+0", "0", and "-0" all count the same as "0" but permit PSC members

  32. * Each member who votes -1 *may* supply an alternative with which the original author can use to rework the proposal in order to satisfy that PSC member.
  33. * If at least one -1 voting PSC member supplies some alternative criteria, the original author must rework the proposal and resubmit, and the voting process starts again from scratch.
  34. * If no -1 voters are able to supply alternative criteria, the proposal is accepted.
  35. #. In the event of an *unsuccessful* vote, the author may choose to rework and submit.
