Re: Should we relax precheck a little bit?

[Gregory Nutt]

How much time should we wait before starting a vote?
When you know the vote will be in favour of your position is the time to call a 
vote. Actually in favour is probably too strong a position to take, it’s more 
that no-one would be against this course of action even if they may 100% agree 
with it. People may not agree, but collectively everyone thinks this is the 
best way forward. Getting consensus can sometimes be difficult and involve a 
lot of discussion.
We don't have an established voting procedure as do other projects, but 
most of us have been using a 72-hour [DISCUSS] thread preceding any 
72-hour [VOTE].  Certainly, there must be some focused dialogue before 
having any vote.  Embedding opinions and pronouncements in emails along 
with other non-focused discussion will not be be effective.
