Afternoon Chrisoph, The minimum number of votes is going to be the subject of another RFC, let's leave that aside for now.
I've written many RFC's that change the language, the majority have failed. Setting the bar high is the aim, and the bar feels high at 2/3+1, but crucially, not higher than it should be. Setting the bar too high is discouraging, I think: We don't want less contributions, we want clearer outcomes. Cheers Joe On Thu, Nov 17, 2016 at 5:57 PM, Christoph M.
