If there are no SAC specific rules, I suppose the default voting rules for 
OSGeo commmittees should apply :

https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Committee_Guidelines

"""
Motions may also be made by email on the primary email list of the committee. 
As long as the motions collect at least two +1's, and no -1 vetos over a 
period of two business days, they will be considered passed, subject to the 
judgement of the chair (who might choose to defer a motion to a meeting for 
instance). Some committees may chose to only rarely "meet", instead handling 
most committee business by email.
