Upon a dispute or disagreement, a vote should be called between the active org members so that a final decision can be made on it.
Note: The following does not apply to the member recruiting, which is already outlined in Policy 2
- The dissenting members should state an alternative solution or work together to achieve a solution that all active org members are happy with.
- Should a solution not be able to be reached, a vote should be called.
- In the event of a tie, the proposal will always fail to pass.
- Only active org members are able to cast votes.
- Once a vote passes/fails, another vote shall not be called on the same proposal for at least 1 month.
- The only exception to this is on a tie failure, where a new vote can take place after 7 days.
Note: When a disputed vote is called, the person calling it should make it clear that this vote is being called under Policy 6. The cooldown above only applies for votes called under Policy 6. This is to ensure informal votes don’t trigger this policy and cooldown.
Generally speaking this policy can be called for any disagreement/dispute in the org, but here as some examples of when it can be called:
- An Implementation suggestion.
- A Breaking change.
- Disagreement on ideology.
- Disagreement on distribution.
- Disagreement with the progress.
