Hi,
There’s something that I’m not quite following regarding open votes. Why are we saying that ‘votes will end no sooner than X’, instead of actually saying when they *will* end? If there’s no clear end date for a vote, when do we declare than a vote is over? Is it in a specific point in time where the vote happens to be in favor with what the proposer wanted? The specific case in point is https://wiki.php.net/rfc/propertygetsetsyntax-v1.2 - which while has more supporters than opposers, consistent fell short of the 2/3 majority it needs to be approved. The vote should have ended on Wednesday – 4 days ago, but for some reason it’s still open. It’s time to close it. My suggestion is for voting periods to be limited to one week, regardless of the topic. It should be more than enough. Regardless, an ‘open ended’ voting period is unacceptable IMHO. Zeev
