Nope on the default to [LAZY]. When reading it I assumed that was the technical term for the way we've been voting: at least 3 +1 and no -1. My bad. The default should be the strictest (Consensus, if I have my terminology correct) and if someone wants to deviate, it should be clearly marked in the

I found time for a quick read. Thanks for taking the time to put together this document. Is there a reason why you are proposing Lazy forms of voting for most actions? I kind of like seeing how many folks vote +1 and who they are. Doesn't Lazy essentially only solicit vetos? Did you/Can you che

A couple of things: 1. Do we really want to allow +0.5 or -0.5 etc.? This has a potential to lead to confusion (does two 0.5 votes make a +1 vote, does two -0.5 constitute a veto, etc) We should probably eliminate this. 2. We need to specify that the approval type (consensus vs. lazy vs. etc.)
