Comment (by arma):

 Our voting policy says:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/community/policies.git/tree/voting.txt#n72
 "However, if 'take no action' accounts for at least 1/3 of the vote the
 proposals are rejected."

 But in recent votes, e.g.
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/community/policies.git/tree/votes/17-09-12_membership/summary.txt#n20
 and
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/community/policies.git/tree/votes/18-03-26_code_of_conduct/summary.txt#n20
 we have not been offering the "take no action" option.

 So, our original voting guidelines essentially require a 2/3 vote to enact
 new policies or the like. I think we should either get back to offering
 the take-no-action option, or change our voting guidelines to stop
 mentioning it. (I favor the former: get back to offering take-no-action.)
