There is? My bad. Still Geni is right. "Abstain" is just as valid a
choice as "Yes" or "No" are, and we shouldn't be revealing
people's
votes.
There is a difference between abstaining and not voting. Abstaining
involves actively saying you abstain (and counts towards a quorum if
we had one), not voting is a passive act. If people want to abstain,
they can send an email saying so and that would be kept secret. (Also,
abstain actually counts as a "no" in approval voting, although it
would make a difference to the 50% rule we added on.)
