I have a few ideas about this that I'll have to put in writing and share |
17 |
later, but let me start by proposing that for such a change we require |
18 |
the support of at least 2/3 of the devs that vote *and* a minimum of 1/3 |
19 |
of all devs. |

By requiring the support of at least 1/3 of all devs, we can ensure that |
21 |
it won't be possible to have extreme events as getting a policy change |
22 |
approved by > 90% of the voting devs which happen to represent < 10% of |
23 |
all devs. OTOH, requiring 2/3 of the voting devs might prove to be to |
24 |
hard in an election with a high turnout - afaicr we didn't have > 60% |
25 |
turnout in any election in at least the last 2 years. |
