The process is pretty simple really:

- decide what licence you want without bothering to hold a vote

- get everyone to sign up to new contributor terms allowing that licence

- block anyone who says no from contributing

and presto! you have your 2/3 majority of active contributors.

Of course the OSMF would never do anything like that...
