-1 The argument is very simple, you don't allow a simple majority to tyrannize the minority. So the ASF has long held a simple standard of consensus on all committee additions and subtractions. Some majority might be irked at [insert name here]'s [actions|inaction| comments|silence] but that was never grounds to remove a committee member. If you want to propose some supermajority metric other than "unanimous", that could work (e.g. 2/3 or 3/4 in agreement). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
