My impression is that voting is done on the list with +1,0,-1 tabulation. That is how ballots have happened on the PPMC and it is how the ballots on the general@incubator are conducted.
The only case I can foresee off hand that might lead to [VOTE], if a [DISCUSS] does not demonstrate consensus, might be over the name of the project, the deliverable, and the domains of web sites once openoffice.org has transferred to Apache and we know the ASF policy, legal, and trademark constraints that have to be honored. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alexandro Colorado Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2011 12:20 To: [email protected] Cc: Dennis E.
