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

any :ref:`core team member <core-team>` may defer the decision to the
:ref:`technical board <technical-board>`.
Any :doc:`core committer</internals/team>` may call for a formal vote

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.
Since this process allows any core committer to veto a proposal, any "-1"
votes should be accompanied by an explanation that explains what it would

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.
