### Process
- Anything is open for discussion
- Voting done through matrix chat reacts (thumbs up/thumbs down)
- Require a simple majority for votes. (Maybe 2/3rds for more debated decisions).

"anything is open for discussion" and "simple majority" or something like that is lost, i like the former. The majority-thing is good, but i don't know if that's too formally defined?

The "anything is open for discussion" feels a bit pointless to me, I tried to put it into more concrete terms instead.

Its important for me, as it is the indicator that i am an admin with "equal rights". Of course, it would be kinda pointless, when we want to decide something, have a majority, but one admin has super-admin rights and says: "no, this is not open for discussion".

(I don't mean a "veto" here)

How about this: "any issue concerning the items below can get voted on, if a council member asks for it"

explain their position.
- Discussion should be taken with the goal of reaching a compromise that is acceptable for
everyone.
- After the discussion, voting is done through Matrix reacts and must stay open for at least

Matrix reacts -> that might be confusing, "voting trough matrix emojis" might be more clear?

Also, some neutral reaction is missing here, which expresses "i don't care" and not "i like it" as a thumbs up.

neutral vote is missing. This was the case for instance on the domain-thing of lemmy. i did not care about the exact domain name, altough i understood everything.

a neutral vote is important, because both a thumbs up ("i like it") and thumbs down ("i don't like it") are wrong in this case.

you might wanna explain here, why you want to exclude communism.lemmy.ml

-> for instance: "communism.lemmy.ml is considered a private project by the two main devs" or something

Not sure if we should even mention it here, its a separate instance with a separate admin team. What do you think @dessalines?

- Once a decision is reached democratically, the dicision is binding and all group members have to follow it
Most of the time, we keep each other up to date through the Matrix chat, and take informal
decisions on uncontroversial issues. For example, a user clearly violating the site rules

- All members of the Lemmy council have equal voting power, with the option of abstaining.
- Decisions should be reached unanimously, or nearly so. If this is not possible, at least
2/3 of votes must be in favour for the motion to pass.
- Once a decision is reached in this way, every member needs to abide by it.
