That's the correct interpretation. A simple majority requires *greater* than 50% of the votes cast which is what the part up above was trying to express.
"Did more than 50% of the votes cast for YES?" should be changed to: "Are the number of YES votes greater than the number of NO votes?"
Remember abstained votes don't count as votes.
Ok, I changed that. The bylaws should probably more specific about the definition of "simple majority". Maybe one could replace the following: "A simple majority is needed to pass or reject the motion. In the event of a draw, being that 50% is not a majority, the motion does not pass." with this: "For the motion to pass, the number of YES votes has to be greater than the number of NO votes." -- freenode/pyropeter "12:50 - Ich drücke Return."
