I think there's redundant or repeated information about CfCs. Here:

Decision Process
...
To afford asynchronous decisions and organizational deliberation, any resolution (including publication decisions) taken in a face-to-face meeting or teleconference will be considered provisional. A call for consensus (CfC) will be issued for all resolutions via email to [email protected], preferably with the abbreviation CfC early in the subject line to catch more attention.

Any group participant may object to a decision reached at an online or in-person meeting within 14 days of publication of the decision, provided that they include clear reasons for their objection grounded in the scope and documented goals of the CG and its work items.

Calls for Consensus
The presence of formal resolutions will be indicated by a "CfC" prefix in the subject line of an email on the list. Additional outreach to community venues for more affirmative consent is strongly encouraged. There will be a response period of 14 days. If no sustained objections are raised by the end of the response period, the resolution will be considered to have consensus as a resolution of the Community Group, i.e. a group decision. All decisions made by the group should be considered resolved unless and until new information becomes available or unless reopened at the discretion of the Chairs or the Director.

Am I reading this wrong, or are these paragraphs saying the same thing? There are two differences I see:

  1. Additional outreach to community venues for more affirmative consent is strongly encouraged. This seems like a good idea, but I really like the scoping on the objections in the previous section.
  2. All decisions made by the group should be considered resolved unless and until new information becomes available or unless reopened at the discretion of the Chairs or the Director. I think this is great.

Agreed!

I'd also argue that the first paragraph of the Decision Process may be slightly out of sync with the third:
"any resolution (including publication decisions) taken in a face-to-face meeting or teleconference will be considered provisional. A call for consensus (CfC) will be issued for all resolutions".

OR, is the third paragraph ONLY about "async processes?" if so, the "face-to-face/teleconference" part is wrongly added there?
