There is also this in 4.2:
4. The minimum discussion period is 2 weeks, but may be varied by up
to 1 week by the Project Leader. The Project Leader has a casting
vote. There is a quorum of 3Q.
The DPL changed the minimum time for the discussion period to 1 week.
The discussion period is over when a vote is called.
