+Short Circuit The full Council process may 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 must 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 may be run concurrently with [[#council-participation]] and prior to choosing a [=W3C Council Chair|Chair=].
