I hope we can avoid this in future. > Hi Robin, while I agree that the outcome is not ideal in various ways, and I can personally understand your disappointment, it is always a risk to infer consent from silence. Several members of the SC seem to donate their time here on a pro-bono basis, and it's probably not fair to demand full attention just before, or during the holiday season. Our calls, and subsequent discussions, tended to be quite controversial, so I suggest for the future to indeed conduct a strawman poll prior to a TC ballot.
