Hello Simon and all,

Here’s v8 (based on changes I had made to v6) to account for the many
good suggestions that were made in the past few days.

Main changes:

  • New “Roles” section (replacing “Supporters”), where “team member” is
    defined.

  • Mention cancellation when sponsors are not found.

  • ASCII art for the diagram.

  • Clarify that it is up to the author(s) to decide when to stop the
    discussion period and start the deliberation period, as long as it’s
    between 30 and 60 days.

  • Regarding disapproval, change “must have …” to “should …”.

As for the name, I was fine with “RFC”, I’m fine with “Guix Consensus
Document” (as pukkamustard suggested), but I would rather avoid “Guix
Common Document”, which IMO fails to convey what this is about.

Find v8 attached and a diff compared to v7, for clarity (?).

I’ll refrain from sending any new version!

BTW, should we start using a version control tool?  We have to file a
Savannah support request to rename the repo though, if there’s consensus
about one of the “GCD” names.
