CfC. Action required - task force Agreement (second part of Processes)

On the call today we agreed on the task force Process for the Agreements
section. See Resolution_Processes Agreement
<https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/task-forces/coga/wiki/COGA_Resolution_Processes#Agreement>
 (The other sections were agreed on last week)

To make it clearer there is a copy of the agreed text below.

***Action to Take***

This CfC is now open for objection, comment, as well as statements of
support via email. Silence will be interpreted as support,
though messages of support are certainly welcome.

If you object to this proposed action, or have comments concerning this
proposal, please respond by replying on list to this message no later than
23:59 (Midnight) Boston Time, Tuesday 6th October.

Draft agreed on: Agreement


   -

   COGA strives to get a quorum for responses. Quorum depends on the
   context.
   -

      Typically, at least in a call there should be at least 4
      non-leadership members present who  agree.
      -

      If Facilitators say that a lack of response will be considered
      agreement, less people have to agree to reach quorum. (But they
should have
      had the opportunity to respond)
      -

   If objections to a proposed agreement are raised, the facilitators
   should try and find an alternative that everyone can live with
   -

   COGA strives to provide enough time for participants to consider before
   making a decision.
   -

   When finalizing a decision facilitators can give a time limit and time
   table for objections.
   -

   When discussion is done and the group is making a decision, participants
   should only raise objections that they “can’t live with.”
   -

      Compromise on points people can "live with" is an essential part of
      decisions.
      -

      The facilitators can allow a decision to go through with some
      objections if a significant majority approves the decision.



All the best
