We came to an agreement on what "[NOTICE]" means in this thread: http://markmail.org/message/o27dls6t3pqtxjew
The first paragraph in this thread was: "This is a notice that I am going to assume lazy consensus on the proposal to create a marketing@ list. If you have a formal objection to raise, please do so now, and I will move this to a vote." I am giving the project NOTICE of my intentions, and allowing a window of time for people to object and block my work. 10 emails and 1961 words later, and I've still not received an actual objection. If nobody objects, I will move forward. Andy interprets this as "forcing", and I can see why it might look like that without context. But I prefer to see it as efficient decision making in the face of unresolvable differences of opinion. We have a procedure for making decisions on the project. I am following it. I've made my proposal. You can now object to it if you like. It shouldn't need lengthy discussion. "Filibustering" is not a section in our bylaws!
