Agreed. It does not discuss having a [DISCUSS] thread before the [VOTE]. It is important to do that because then an objection (-1) can be discussed properly. There can be many reasons that a PMC member might object and these need to expressed. Not doing so might lose PMC members and hurt the community. I wanted to give this advice recently and was rather disappointed that I could not find documentation about an actual [DISCUSS] thread. Regards, Dave > > Thoughts? > > Hen
