I think a vote here would be good. I think most of the discussion was done by 4 or 5 people and its a long thread. If nothing else it summarizes everything and gets people attention to the change. Tom

This really isn't that formal. We just want to declare and document consensus. I think SPIP is just a remix of existing process anyway, and don't think it will actually do much anyway, which is why I am sanguine about the whole thing. To bring this to a conclusion, I will just put the contents of the doc in an email tomorrow for a VOTE. Raise any objections now.

Reynold moved it to his google doc, and has suggested during this email thread that a vote should occur. If a vote needs to occur, I can't see anything on http://apache.org/foundation/voting.html suggesting that I can call for a vote, which is why I'm asking PMC members to do it since they're the ones who would vote anyway. Now Sean is saying this is a code/doc change that can just be reviewed and merged as usual...which is what I tried to do to begin with. The fact that you haven't agreed on a process to agree on your process is, I think, an indication that the process really does need improvement ;)
