+1 non-binding One minor thing first: can you define PPMC in the doc? It's brought in without saying what it stands for. Even the link it goes to just talks about PMC and there's no mention of PMCC... so I'm not sure what the definition is. On Tue, Oct 30, 2018 at 8:07 AM Carin Meier wrote: >

The committer/PMC privileges is derived from https://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html. The term abuse is very subjective (in this case) - If an opinion or Vote is against something they prefer, it can be termed as Abuse. I would expect those who differ with the vote to take that as

well, if something needs consensus to pass, then saying “you need to keep discussing until consensus is reached” seems like it could be abused by someone who was just willing to not accept a verdict and continues to push, right? And if someone were to walk away saying “I don’t want to discuss this

-1 “strive to meet consensus”? This seems to imply the consensus is the natural expected state. So in the case where someone submits that we should start a nuclear war, then our bylaws would state that we should all try to agree to start a nuclear war. On Mon, Oct 29, 2018 at 4:41 PM Tianqi Chen
