Is there such a concept as "Lazy Majority" ? The Glossary only has "Lazy Consensus/Lazy Approval" [1] The Voting page [2] does not mention Lazy Majority either. If project bylaws mention "Lazy Majority" then presumably they must define the concept locally. [Though what that definition might be, I have no idea] If the bylaws don't clearly define the concept, then the PMC needs to determine how to fix the bylaws. But please let's not add "Lazy Majority" to the foundation pages just because it happens to be used elsewhere (possibly ambiguously).

Exactly; I agree that Lazy Majority does not make sense as a concept. > Thoughts? > -Alex > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
