<p>I'm interested in this topic (as community rather than a board
member), but live in an awkward timezone, and a relatively
inflexible schedule. So please continue without me.</p>
<p>However, I'd be happy to offer my services to help facilitate the
editing of the guidelines:</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Committee_Guidelines">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Committee_Guidelines</a></p>
<p>I also think this discussion should be opened to the greater
OSGeo communities to capture their practical advise. </p>
<p>I think current text is actually pretty good, but could be
tweaked slightly to ensure it is workable within both active and
relatively inactive communities, and work for big and small
decisions.</p>
<p>Here is a variant of text which I think could be used as a
starting point:</p>
<p><i>For most decisions, a motion is raised within one of the
OSGeo-Live open forums (IRC, email list, etc) and those present
vote and decide. Should there be contention in deciding, and
after discussion at least one member is still strongly against
the motion, by continuing to vote -1, the motion should be
referred to the PSC.</i><i><br>
</i><i><br>
</i><i>For motions presented to the PSC, a motion is considered
passed when there are more PSC +1 votes than -1 votes, and
either all PSC members have voted, or 4 days have passed. In the
case of a tie, the PSC chair shall have 1.5 votes.</i><br>
