Discuss the options, see what gather the most support and the better reasonings and then suggest that the RFC "yes" vote means A, B or C while summarizing the reasons of the choice for it in the RFC itself. A language change vote requiring 2/3 majority on a Yes/No and a simple majority in an option basically means not requiring 2/3 at all, but 50% (with 2 options) at most! --bcaec53d546f8b935f0510ff9d43--
