Any voting body in a small organization should *never* consist of an odd number of members. In the event of a tie, the result should be treated as a vote for the status quo. Anything else quickly oscillates out of control, since it's overdriven by political in-fighting. I'm not speaking for or against the idea, at this time; just that an implementation with an odd number of voters models very quickly into factionalism.
