How do you get to 2/3rds? I am not familiar with Debian's voting system, but I get just under 1/2 in favor publically supporting removal. I define "support" as preferring an option over "Further Discussion". According to [0], there were 420 unique voters. Using 420 as the denominator, and collumn 8 [1] as the numerator, we get the following approval voting results: 1) Call for the FSF board removal, as in rms-open-letter.github.io - 203/420 = 48% 2) Call for Stallman's resignation from all FSF bodies - 222/42 = 53% 3) Discourage collaboration with the FSF while Stallman is in a leading position - 19/420 - 52% 4) Call on the FSF to further its governance processes - 221/42 = 53% 5) Support Stallman's reinstatement, as in rms-support-letter.github.io - 52/420 = 12% 6) Denounce the witch-hunt against RMS and the FSF - 84/420 = 20% 7) Debian will not issue a public statement on this issue - 277/420 = 65% 8) Further Discussion - N/A It does not look like individual votes have been released yet. If they were, I would like to see how accurate my assumption that no one "approves" of both his presence and absence from the board. The sum of approval for both 1 and 5 is 255 = 61%, so it seems like most of the no statement voters actively disprove of a statement in either direction (instead of simply preferring no statement) [0] https://vote.debian.org/~secretary/gr_rms/ https://vote.debian.org/~secretary/gr_rms/ [1] https://vote.debian.org/~secretary/gr_rms/results.txt https://vote.debian.org/~secretary/gr_rms/results.txt

I may be misinterpreting or misapplying how they do a "passes majority" check, which seems to indicate 222 for and 166 against for option two. So it might be more correct to say ~3/5s?

You can look at the Majority results if you want to say how many people think an option is acceptable. That ratio is also in the graph. For option 1, 203 people indicated that it's acceptable, 186 said it was unacceptable, leaving 31 that didn't say anything about it. The 203/186=1.09 is in the graph. You could also see that as 52% find that option acceptable.
