So!! To summarize
1. There seem to be 11 people who can live with the proposed change, and of these, 6 seem to actually support the proposal (the others can live with it).
2. There is one objection.
3. The Revising the Process Document CG has about 37 members so this is not a majority, but it is a strong plurality.
4. People seem to have trouble following directions which asked for responses of the form “I agree” or “I disagree” (and should have asked for “I can live with it”. They also asked that any discussion be moved to another thread (which did not happen). This made counting “votes” a difficult to impossible task.
Yes. I apologise for ending up doing the same as everyone else. Not because it makes counting hard (I disagree, I think your count is accurate and I didn't find it difficult to come to the same conclusion), but because it makes it difficult to unpick discussions later.
So, by the rules of the CG [1] I do not believe I can declare Consensus,
The "rules" [1] of the CG enable the CG chair to declare consensus. As far as I can tell (and I am the chair), there is consensus with one objection. What the AB Task Force reads into the result is up to you, but if you read this as consensus, I would not list it as something where there was a disgreement from the CG with the TF (the things that are meant to be tracked in a CG wiki page[2], that is horribly out of date)
but I also believe that not doing so would be a frustration of the opinions expressed. I note that this vote is advisory, whether the suggested text should be placed in the next draft of the Process2015 document which is still to be reviewed by and commented on by the AB and AC. Given the AB has already endorsed this edit, I believe it should go into the next Process2015 draft.
As editor, I'll make the change - although it is generally useful if you explicitly resolve a numbered issue, in particular where there is an objection. (I presume nobody will be surprised if I decide to maintain my objection through to a formal AC review).
