I propose that we increase the minimum duration for an RFC to be in the
voting phase from one week to something longer. The rationale is quite
simple:
- One week is often not enough time for me to review my current thoughts
and vote. - Sometimes when RFCs go to vote it is the first time I get to read about
it. Most of us don't work on PHP full-time so I can't be the only one in
this situation. - During holiday seasons people often request a longer window anyway.
As for picking a new period: I propose 14 days (two weeks) because it
guarantees two weekends.
What voting window would you like to see?
Also, do we need an RFC for proposals like this? The wiki is unclear on how
we deal with changes to the RFC process.
Hi,

- One week is often not enough time for me to review my current thoughts
and vote.- Sometimes when RFCs go to vote it is the first time I get to read

I think a week is fine given that two weeks for discussion are required.
nd it uses to be longer.
Also, do we need an RFC for proposals like this?
Yes

I don't find any problem with a week being the voting period. You
already have, at the very least, 2 weeks prior to any vote to discuss
the RFc.

Except its fairly often that people change the RFC within this window so
when it goes to vote you have to review stuff. And if you are busy that
week then... well, you miss the vote.

This is because people tends to read RFC when voting.
To address this issue, close vote, discuss, reopen vote, is the
way to go. Reopened vote should be a week or more. Minimum
2 weeks seems too much to me.

But then it is debatable, depending on the change, including the
implementation. I think it is fair to have 2 weeks again to discuss and
test the changes.
