RFC - How to find consensus for Technical Documentation

Labels: news

One problem we usually have in the Technical Action Group (TAG) is how to find consensus on certain points. In order to solve this the following process is proposed:

Process - How to find consensus

This announcement follows this process. So please discuss this proposal as defined inside it until May 24th 12PM GMT.

The process tries to solve the following problems:

discussion is only happening between 2-3 participants in the TAG usually. This is not enough to get a broad set of opinions. So we need to get more discussion happening.
there is no way yet defined on how to finalize a proposal.

So please discuss this on this post.
