Before being put to a vote, motions presented before the TSC must be raised publicly on the development mailing-list for a minimum of 4
Come to think of it, we don't actually have "the development" list. We have "the discuss" list, or "the TSC" list. Capturing the spirit here, it'd be discuss.

as well as accommodate the possibility that members might not attend a meeting and vote in person.

Motions not posted to the list will not be considered official motions.
Probably redundant w/ "[motions] must be raised publically"
TSC members can vote via email positively, negatively, or abstain as is the case today, but must voice their votes in writing on the public mailing list.
Similarly here, another option is that we vote in the meeting and require one of:
- member or proxy voting +1, -1, 0 - no show == no vote
The advantage is the simplicity of getting together and voting right then and there.
Right, no vote == abstain.
This will serve as the official written public record of their vote. Members or their proxies and designates that do not vote or have their votes received by the chair via the official mailing list will be counted as no-vote.
Why would we count not voting as a "no" vote?
You need some default state. It seems the most obvious route is no vote == abstain to me.
Sorry, that's just me not being able to read. I read "no-vote" as a vote for "no" rather than not voting.
