Abstract
|
||
========
|
||
|
||
This PEP proposes a governnance model with as few procedures, defined terms and
|
||
percentages as possible. It may also be called *The Anarchist Governance Model*
|
||
but uses *Commons* for now because of possible negative connotations of the
|
||
term *Anarchist* to some audiences.
|
||
|
||
The rationale for the model is that everything that is cast in concrete will
|
||
have unintended negative side effects. For example, a governance model that
|
||
assigns voting rights to, say, Python committers may cause individuals not
|
||
to be accepted as a committer because there are already a lot of committers
|
||
from the company the new candidate works for. As another example, setting
|
||
a fixed percentage for PEP acceptance may lead to party-formation amongst
|
||
the voters and individual PEPs no longer be being judged on individual merit
|
||
but along party lines (if you support my PEP I will support yours).
