[LSC] Standard Unofficial directory?

[Ross Crawford]

Well I don't really think that's a big problem. Worst case scenario we 
get a 3-2 vote, which we'd then have to decide if it's enough to 
implement, if we get 4-1 for making it a standard, I'm happy to go with 
the obvious concensus.

Is their any written rules for the LSC votes? If it's simple majority, 
then 3-2 is obviously enough too.
