Peter, each time we do this, you add caveats which are convenient 
loopholes for future exploitation.

Take a close look at the current PMC list, which you *VOLUNTARILY* 
elected to be a part of.  If *ANY* one of them expresses a veto 
concerning *ANY* matter under the direct oversight of the Avalon PMC, 
will you accept it as valid?

Examples of acceptable alternatives when faced with a veto: Convince the 
person to lift the veto.  Convince the other PMC members to have the 
person removed from the PMC.  Propose the formation a new PMC.

Examples of unacceptable alternatives when faced with a veto: 
Revolutions in place.  Ignoring the veto because the veto itself is, in 
your opinion, evidence of the person not wanting to work together.

Is this feedback clear?  Is this feedback useful?

The ball is in your court.
