Decisions are made by a consensus process, in which we work together as a common team to find shared solutions and address concerns, with a focus on giving voice rather than on balance of power. + +The Council is ultimately accountable for the Fedora Project as a whole, and is responsible for providing advice to and oversight of other Fedora governance bodies and teams as needed. + +_For more information, please see the [Fedora Council wiki page](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Council)._
