Scratching my head as I assumed it was a normal non-tech vote conducted on the PPMC private list, majority wins, must be at least 3 votes. The one 'additional' rule I assumed was that the same must be true of PMC members voting; effectively the PPMC vote needs to include 3 mentor +1s. If a vote concludes with less than 3 PMC votes, it goes to the Incubator PMC private list to fill in the necessary votes. As the project moves closer to graduation, those mentor votes become more and more whackamole.
Guessing I'm out of date :) I didn't know we had PMCs that were adding people via lazy consensus.
