Decision-making process
In the past, most of our decisions have been made using the Steering Committee e-mail list. The facilitator introduces an agenda item and sets a timeline for comments. Some items are just for discussion, others are proposals requiring a vote.

The facilitator may request that SC members respond only if they have objections to a proposal, or that people respond by a deadline with a yes or no vote. If a vote is called for, a quorum of half of all SC members (rounded up) is required to make a decision. This means that by any decision-making deadline we must have the opinion of at least four Steering Committee members (currently, there are 7 SC members). For a proposal to pass, 60% of votes must be in favor of the proposal.

To keep things simple, we have agreed to discuss only one topic at a time. New agenda items are introduced only after the previous decision has been made, or a discussion topic has been closed.
