Relax the criteria for short-circuit (#885)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
A high bar for support remains needed, and any dissent remains sufficient to
defeat the short-circuit proposal, but unanimity is no longer required.

See #852

Unanimous Short Circuit</h5>
Short Circuit</h5>


The full Council process <em class=rfc2119>may</em> be short-circuited if
the Team recommends a resolution
and every potential member of a Council who is not renouncing their seat
votes affirmatively (no abstentions) to adopt this resolution.
and potential members of a Council who are not renouncing their seat
confirm it by a vote which results in both of the following:
* at least 80% of them vote affirmatively to adopt this resolution
* none of them vote against adopting the resolution

The request for confirmation <em class=rfc2119>must</em> be open for a period of at least two weeks,
or until every potential member of the Council not renouncing their seat
has voted,
whichever is shortest.

This step <em class=rfc2119>may</em> be run concurrently with [[#council-participation]]
and prior to choosing a [=W3C Council Chair|Chair=].
