Any vote should be at least 72 hours. > > In any case, if the vote is positive, we can start using the new rules > > and continue discussing your proposal as a next step. > > No, I would ask that you don't continue as my vote will not be positive Votes should never be held up for any individual. That is the equivalent of "filibustering" :-) There are many people involved, and it would be inappropriate for individuals to hold up what all the rest are doing. If you want to have a say, then sit down and take the time to do it. Otherwise, the project moves along without your input. > and at the very least I would like to spend a couple days finishing my > response.

Given that this is a non-technical issue, that -1 is a simple "no" vote (no such thing as vetoes for non-tech issues). However, it is also a non-binding vote as you are not part of the PMC. Given your Membership status and your involvement so far in incubator issues, I would support your request to join the PMC if you wanted (and were willing to continue your activity beyond the current issue). Even without your joining the PMC, I consider your input valuable and would absolutely take your vote into consideration. Cheers, -g -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...
