  FESCo tracks all ongoing decisions using the link:https://pagure.io/fesco[FESCo Ticketing System]. Generally, tickets are of two types: tickets asking for FESCo's advice or tickets asking for a specific policy or technical change to occur. When FESCo's opinion is sought, a ticket is opened and then FESCo will reply to that ticket with either a proposal or by adding it to the next weekly meeting agenda for discussion.

  

- Once a ticket has a formal proposal offered, FESCo members have one week to either vote for or against it or else propose the ticket for the next weekly meeting agenda. At the end of that one week, if the proposal has gained at least three "for" votes and no "against" votes, it is approved. Any "against" votes mean that it goes onto the next meeting agenda. If the week passes and the required number of votes have not been met, the proposal is extended by one further week and the minimum requirement becomes a single positive "for" vote. This is intended to ensure that proposals do not languish.

- There is also a shortcut procedure for cases that require urgency. Seven "for" votes will immediately approve a proposal, without waiting for the week to be up.

+ Seven positive votes with no negative votes will immediately approve a proposal, and seven negative votes with no positive votes will immediately reject a proposal.

no initial comment

I am not sure we have approved to wait full week after -7, but in reality, it makes no difference.

I think -7 should automatically resolve and close it regardless of the week time limit.

Updated to make +7 and -7 behave symmetrically.
