Hi, > 1. Do we really want to allow +0.5 or -0.5 etc.? Yes as it allowed and people do vote that way.
> does two 0.5 votes make a +1 vote, does two -0.5 constitute a veto, etc Answer is no to both. only -1 are a vert and only full +1 are counted when releasing: "Only a -1 is considered a veto and releases require 3 full +1 votes." Changing to this should make it clearer? "Only a full -1 is considered a veto and releases require 3 full +1 votes." > 2.

Default is generally Lazy Consensus but I guess how important is it. > 3. That brings up the question of what determines the approval type? Do > we need a set of guidelines to determine this?

This is specified in the guideline for most common situations, voting in committers, PMC members etc etc, but there are going to be situations when it's not covered and in that case it would be up to the person starting the vote - unless someone objects to the voting method used I guess. If we get to the stage of having a vote to decide what voting system to use I think we're gone too far down the rabbit hole. :-) > And I dont think a 2/3 majority of our PMC is possible. It's possible, it a lazy majority eg it's 3 +1 votes and twice as many +1 votes as -1 votes. Thanks, Justin
