I have always imagined this process to be: 1. IPMC firms up its opinion via VOTE 2. An IPMC chair reaches out to the community suggesting a retirement option based on the collective IPMC opinion recorded as an outcome of the VOTE. 3. Unless there's no objections from the community the process ends in retirement. 4. If there's an objection from the community we continue the dialogue. I'm happy to reach out first, but I honestly don't see how I can communicate anything to them, but my personal opinion. IOW, the whole point of the vote is to be able to have a link that I can forward to the community and engage in a retirement conversation with them as opposed to an open ended one. Keep in mind, that nobody is saying that just because IPMC voted to suggest a retirement option the project immediately gets retired. In fact, the VOTE is just that -- a formal signal from IPMC what we collectively feels is the best option for the project. Makes sense?
