Do you mean if 75% of team members simply do not reply, the proposal fails? ... as a strategy when their preference is strongly against seeing the decision carried out, but not so strong as to completely stop the decision (e.g. "I disapprove")? I initially read you as meaning 75% of team members reply with "I accept", in which it would pass: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/guix-consensus-documents.git/tree/001-gcd-process.md#n184 - “I support”, meaning that one supports the proposal; - “I accept”, meaning that one consents to the implementation of the proposal; - “I disapprove”, meaning that one opposes the implementation of the proposal. A team member sending this reply should have made constructive comments during the discussion period. The GCD is *accepted* if (1) at least 25% of all team members–as of the start of the “Deliberation Period”–send a reply, and (2) no one disapproves. In other cases, the GCD is *withdrawn*. The "I accept" replies counts towards the 25% quorum. If only 24.99% of team members state "I support" or "I accept", then the proposal fails. Or if a single team member states "I disapprove", it fails. Admittedly, an overwhelmingly large number of "I accept" with few or no "I support" likely indicates something might be a bit off ... or just some ambivalence and/or low stakes. live well, vagrant
