Leif,
> What about setting it up so that a -1 is a vote by default.
Please understand that the ASF already has clear procedures for voting, and
it was NOT my point to change the process in any way! My intent was simply
to suggest a mindset that a -1 vote on technical matters (where they are
binding vetoes) be used constructively to ensure that critical issues are
resolved, not used as a roadblock. That is why I made the suggestion that a
voter include in the justification for the -1 the conditions necessary to be
resolved. So that there is immediate constructive input to start the
resolution processs.
As Berin said, "the -1 vote means that there needs to be some more
discussion. [ALL] -1 votes should provide a topic for community discussion,
and in the end should be resolvable by the community. [The] -1 is a safety
net."
If people simply want to disagree without a binding veto, they can vote -0.
