Generally, I reject language condensing authority to a small subset of individuals and granting rights to act on their limited opinion. Specifically, the proposed text of paragraphs 4, 5, 7, and 9 do just that. I am happy to discuss in detail, but honestly I don't think that will move us closer to consensus. I think simplification is needed. Let's start with our values before we start talking about a protocol for accusations. After all, does it matter how we deal with accusations if we can't agree on core values? And on that note, I'd like to suggest the Code Manifesto as a starting point for our values statement: http://codemanifesto.com/ Sincerely, bishop
