 == Detailed Process ==
 
- 1. Proposals are written up and submitted on the mailing list for discussion. Any committee member may call a vote on any proposal, although it is normal practice for the proposer to call the vote. Any interested  party may subscribe to the list and join the discussion, but only [wiki:PSC committee members] may vote. The PSC Chair gets a vote.
- 1. Proposals are available for review for at least seven days before a vote can be closed. It is acknowledged that some more complex issues may require more time for discussion and deliberation: a vote should only be closed after the minimum time period has passed and sufficient discussion has taken place, or no more progress is being made. The Chair may override this and prolong the discussion period or close a vote straight away if necessary (although the minimum time period for discussion/voting always applies).
