That's a valid point. However, I have always specified 'recieved votes'
instead of 'eligible votes'. I've said at least once that a a complete lack
of voting should not be considered an abstention, but rather a non-vote.

And again, if there's no majority decision rule, why even mention 'abstain'
as an option? I might have had different things to say to my RC during his
deliberations, if that had been clear from the start.
