I remain committed to the RFC ideal, but the arguments presented have
swayed me: I cannot support the RFC as written in v0.3. Generally, I reject
language condensing authority to a small subset of individuals and granting
rights to act on their limited opinion. Specifically, the proposed text of
paragraphs 4, 5, 7, and 9 do just that. I am happy to discuss in detail,
but honestly I don't think that will move us closer to consensus.

I think simplification is needed. Let's start with our values before we
start talking about a protocol for accusations. After all, does it matter
how we deal with accusations if we can't agree on core values?

And on that note, I'd like to suggest the Code Manifesto as a starting
point for our values statement: http://codemanifesto.com/

Sincerely,
bishop
