I think, to be nimble, in the future, votes will work on a quorum or something.  But for this first vote, we want it to be a popular vote (meaning, a majority of all the Masternode owners need to feel good about this idea).  Frankly, I'm shocked that it's taking so long to get half the MNds to vote. Where is everyone?  Is it too hard to do?  Perhaps there are that many people on the fence, but I can't imagine there are so many out there without an opinion!
