    Michael,
    
    I'm not sure how others feel, but I would like to see
    a voting choice of "concur" on future votes.  This would
    be interpreted as a vote in favor of the position that
    (not counting "concur" votes) received the most votes.
    
    This is useful when one doesn't know enough about a
    given issue to take a particular stand, but one wishes
    to support the decision of the group (whereas an
    abstention doesn't contribute to reaching a quorum
    in the voting).
    
    Lacking that choice for this vote, I cannot really
    vote on this issue.  (Provided we get enough votes
    for this issue, I do not suggest a new vote, but I
    do suggest a "concur" option in the future.)
    
    regards,
    
    paul
