If I understand right you (Scott) are talking about the procedural proposal. Right now the typical process, if a vote is needed and/or desired, is to have a 72-hour voting period, unless there are enough positive PMC votes before to make it pass regardless of possible negative votes.
In any case, voting on these topics is probably a good idea, well at least for #1 since it is a change that may impact many people (even though in the discussion in seemed pretty supported), and #3 since there wasn't so much unanimity. -David On Nov 26, 2009, at 2:03 PM, Scott Gray wrote: > -1, I think the system we have in place now works just fine.
