Any policy that could result in people being removed or banned for
failing to comply warrants a group decision. Unless anyone presumes to
speak for the group, online voting is the only tool we have to make it
official. I understand it's new territory, but does anyone have a
problem with it?

No, this is not true, that "any" group decision has been done via online vote.
Or it's true only in the sense that one only considers it a 'group decision' if it was
done by online vote.

To my knowledge, no other decision about code4lib has ever been made by online
vote.
More to the point, no other decision about code4lib in terms of
"action" or "policy" has been made ever. This is new territory for us.
