Sort of. I think the period can be taken to end when the person tallies the vote. This may be at any point after the minimum period has elapsed. But in this case, the OP wrote: "there are only 72 hours for them to find out, think about and approve an idea" Approval is not needed for lazy consensus - only lack of disapproval - so the sentence does not make sense for lazy consensus. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: labs-unsubscr...@labs.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: labs-h...@labs.apache.org
