> Proposals by Evgeny Egorochkin:
>  * Consensus-based for important issues.
>  * Majority vote doesn't suit us because 51% approval is just a good excuse
> to sweep under the rug a fundamental rift in the community.
>  * Ideas should be judged on merit based on a shared vision of the
> participants.
>  * It's really hard to decide who has a voting power in a highly dynamic and
> distributed community like ours.
>  * Minor issues may be up for voting if no consensus is found to avoid the
> project getting stuck and move on to something more important.
>  * Ontology maintainers are responsible for ensuring decision meet consensus
> criteria. This means either:
>  * Waiting long enough for all parties involved to either comment or ignore
> the issue(considered an abstention).
>  * Contacting affected parties to obtain either their comment, confirm
> abstention or to set a deadline for them to express their opinion.
>  As a consequence of being responsible, commits to the repository need a
> maintainer approval.
>  * No ticket - no commit policy. This is important to document our decisions.
> Every change must be discussed in the issue tracker before being committed.
> Every comment of parties affected by the decision must be added to the ticket
> regardless of the way the comment was communicated. The exception to this
> policy is minor technical defects such as typos, formatting.

Please go ahead.
