The voting period is not stated; I think it probably should be specified. How about: Every ASF committer can ask for one or more labs. The creation of the lab requires a PMC lazy consensus vote (no -1 votes, 72 hours). > from > - Every ASF committer can ask for one or more labs.

However, IMO full consensus approval is too strong a requirement. +1 (non-binding) provided the voting period is defined. > However the foundations glossary [3] defines lazy consensus today as: > > *Lazy consensus*(Also called 'lazy approval'.)
