However, consensus is not always possible. If consensus cannot be reached, or
if the discussion towards a consensus fizzles out without a concrete decision,

by the core team if:
Internally, the technical board will use the same voting mechanism. A
proposition will be considered carried if:
* There are three "+1" votes from members of the core team.
* There are at least three "+1" votes from members of the technical board.
* There is no "-1" vote from any member of the core team.
* There is no "-1" vote from any member of the technical board.
When calling for a vote, the caller should specify a deadline by which
votes must be received. One week is generally suggested as the minimum
amount of time.
Votes should be submitted within a week.

votes should be accompanied by an explanation that explains what it would
take to convert that "-1" into at least a "+0".
Whenever possible, these formal votes should be announced and held in
public on the |django-developers| mailing list. However, overly sensitive
or contentious issues -- including, most notably, votes on new team
members -- may be held in private.
