we may lack a formal process, but I think one thing is clear: What is decided in a GCD can only be undone in something (at least as formal or important) as a GCD. So everything that will end up in this GCD, if accepted, becomes "law" unless it is decided otherwise. This is why I think it is important not to go backwards: If the current manual says that commit rights may be removed after "one year" of inactivity, and an accepted GCD says "some months", then "some months" becomes the new rule, the manual will have to be amended, and the previous rule of one year is gone. So I would urge again to make things precise in this GCD, and in any case not less precise than what we currently have. Andreas
