Just wanted to clarify: the CSSWG takes resolutions two ways:

1. For most issues, we take a resolution live on a call or F2F discussion, 
typically after some amount of async discussion in GH.
2. For issues where we expect the resolution to be obvious and trivial, we 
sometimes take an async CFC over 7 days. This is the process you witnessed 
on-list. :)

For 1, anyone can re-open an issue if they have something new to add to the 
discussion. There’s no statutory time limit.
For 2, anyone can defer the topic to a live discussion by declining the async 
resolution. Or re-open the issue later with new info, same as for #1.
