A few thoughts from a 'bystander': It's great that Greg and the others who disagree cast their dissenting votes. That doesn't mean that we should throw out process. If the process is 3x+1 and more +1 than -1, this vote passes as Henry stated. Greg even stated (if I understand his statements correctly) that he was not trying to sink this vote but rather to express his dissent.
RTC versus CTR is clearly a religious debate. There are a large number of successful and vibrant Apache communities using each paradigm. I don't think this new community can address those -1's unless they switched religious sides. That seems to be an unfair ask given their desires and the general split on this topic within the broader Apache membership. (In other words, short of switching to CTR, it seems like these -1's would stand.) Adding additional mentors seems to be a late suggestion and unwarranted. The mentors on this proposal have strong Apache credentials and there is reasonable diversity among them.
