I guess it would be different if you had one vote instead of none. The norm
seems to be to just continue nagging people in the [VOTE] thread until you
accrue the needed votes.

If I understand the policy, it's just there to prevent three committers
from railroading a KIP though without giving everyone else a chance to
downvote/veto if they are so inclined.

It does sound like the wiki could be updated to clarify.

Hope that helps,
