Can I address a question directly to the secretaries?
Your message here seems to imply an "aut aut": this thread should end with
a vote about Paul's expulsion and nothing else.
I see on this thread many (me included, but I'm no voting member, so...)
advocating a more useful and soft approach, so

It has been 12 days and over 70 posts. Can we all agree that there simply
isn't enough push for this to pass anyway and lock this thread?
The only thing the vote would achieve at this point is ignite reddit and
twitter for 3 days, cause some posts of people making fun of the FIG and
not pass anyway

Here’s an absolute, complete outsider’s view. FWIW. But someone with
extensive experience with conflicts in open source communities (chiefly,
Drupal). I don’t know Paul, and I don’t know most FIG members. But I know a
fair bit about humans, and I have read through this entire thread thanks to

But, this isn't a clearly laid out responsibility or rule for the FIG
members. Yes, one would think it is

Common sense.
I think it's pretty clear, also in this case, that a lot of people have
had problems with his behaviour.
Doesn't matter if it's the majority.

Hi Everyone,
My opinion doesn't hold much weight here but I felt obligated to give my 2
cents.
I am not in favor of expulsion. In my experience Paul is a very thoughtful
and logical person. His principals and opinions have remained consistent
over the years. Even if I don't always agree with h

As such, you can see that the complaint appeals to only one portion of "the PHP
Community" -- perhaps a portion with which the complainants themselves identify. But
there is another substantial portion, maybe as m

Dear Voting Representatives,
You have heard it said that there were offlist attempts to resolve with me,
privately, the matter now at hand. On review of the past 6 months of my email
archives and other records, I find only the following relevant communications

Lukas, I do apologize I see now that I had forgotten some facts in your
original post.
Paul, thank you for the timeline, it is very informative.
While I do feel as if private resolution was attempted, there was not
sufficient time given to you to change. Instead you were blind-sided by the

Hi Matthew,
I believe there's been a misunderstanding (either in my reading of your
response - or your reading of mine).
To clarify my response - I wasn't trying to discuss the way that he voted
or behaved in these discussions and whether it was right or wrong. I was
