|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Without Objection</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Any core member may ask core, via email, if they can take
|
|
some mundane action, subject to a quick sanity check of the
|
|
rest of core.</li>
|
|
<li>If no one objects within 48 hours, then that person may proceed
|
|
(or sooner if (2/3 * core-size) members agree).</li>
|
|
<li>If there are any objections, then it will be resolved via the
|
|
issue voting procedure.</li>
|
|
<li>Core secretary may send the OK to proceed message, as the
|
|
secretary deems appropriate.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Any committer may also use this mechanism so long as at least one
|
|
core member says 'yes' and the previous paragraph is otherwise
|
|
followed. It is intended to be used for mundane matters that
|
|
need a quick sanity check, but don't need a more heavy weight
|
|
and deliberative process. It is believed that the subset of
|
|
core present for any given 48 period are sufficient for both
|
|
sanity checking mundane matters and recognizing non-mundane
|
|
matters that need to be handled via the issues voting
|
|
procedure.</p>
