> In those powers I think adding this step simply slows down what needs to

> For the bylaws powers, the appropriate step once the community has not
> adopted or blocked a bylaws change is a resolution process that leads to a
> new proposed bylaws change. With public comment etc. That's what would
> happen today, and that's the right resolution -- not some kind of
> negotiation.

>
> For the remaining powers - say, rejection of a budget etc - this
> resolution / dialogue might be useful. But we would have to specify WHO the
> resolution or discussion was between. Is this simply handing a new role and
> responsibility to the SO/AC leadership cadre?
>
> If not, to whom? Remember, our Community Forum and Community Mechanism are
> not committees, have no representatives, and just act on the decisions of
> the SOs and ACs.
