To add the following: -------------------------- An APE can be accepted with only a [DISCUSS] thread when all of the the following conditions are met: -The discussion thread has been open for 72 hours, and no changes or questions have been presented -The APE does not deprecate or break any existing feature, user facing API or language -At least 3 PMC members have expressed positive sentiment (e.g. +1) toward the change in the discussion thread If all of these criteria are met, the thread owner should send an email to the end of the thread prefixed with [ACCEPT] in the title, stating that the APE is accepted under the streamlined vote process. -------------------------- Please vote [ ] +1 adopt the amendment [ ] 0 modify the amendment because ... [ ] -1 do not adopt the amendment because ... This procedural vote follows the common format of majority rule, that is if there are more favorable votes than unfavorable ones, the issue is considered to have passed [2]. PMC members have formally binding votes, but we encourage all community members to vote. The vote is open for at least 72 hours or until 3 votes have been cast. Thanks, -Ian
