Hi, Again, Steven (not a LangCom member, and policy says the proposal has to come from a LangCom member) proposed to reject the project based on his own personal --not supported by policy-- personal opinion and ignoring consensus to close the project in the PCP page.
Let's assume in areas of not being utterly bureaucratic that the clerk can formulate such proposal to the committee. Gerard, after asking few questions, supported the closure (effectively objecting Steven's proposal). Nobody said anything else. As things stand, the proposal to reject was rejected as it didn't had any quorum here, silence not being enough. Therefore the PCP has to remain open or a new proposal put forward this committee. Policy is policy and we're suposed to follow it.
