I think this talk about distinct phases is confusing, but otherwise I really like where this is going. To me -- there are no two distinct phases -- there's just opening up of an initial vote. Or to put it another way, I'd like to optimize for a happy path. Which is: vote goes on on dev@ and receives 3+ binding votes from IPMC members. At that point I'd like the vote to be DONE. Is there a way for us to optimize for that? From where I sit one way to optimize is simply frontload the process and ALWAYS CC: IPMC on the community votes. > This terminology answers questions about: > > Whether PPMC votes are binding.
