Dear all,

Portmgr has decided to slightly change its decision-making process to
streamline it in the face of portmgr members who may be transiently
unable to vote, due to other commitments.  The new procedure is this:

Instead of requiring a vote from each portmgr member in order to
decide the outcome, there is a two week voting period from the time
the vote is called.  After the end of two weeks, portmgr members who
have not cast their vote explicitly are considered to abstain.

We hope that portmgr members will cast their votes within the two week
period, and expect that most issues will be decided within this time
(e.g. once a majority vote is obtained), but the timeout is necessary
to ensure that votes are not blocked indefinitely waiting for a
portmgr member who is out of email contact.

Kris
On behalf of portmgr
