Re: OCA/bank-payment-alternative

If there is not already a policy in place to manage situations
      such as this, I propose that the PSC ask the people on this list
      who have followed the conversation to give a non-binding private
      or public vote to the steering committee to show the path that
      they support, with a reason why (and neither will be challenged).
      It may be that there is a clear support one way from this
      community however it is hard for many people to engage with such a
      deep thread. 
    
If there is such a policy, a review of the OCA guidelines should
      be conducted to understand if the policy or implementation were
      not sufficient, and clear direction given to ensure future
      competitions between features or implementations are dealt with
      promptly through a clear process. Members who participate in this
      community therefore are bound to these ways of working and held to
      account when disagreement occurs.
    
    
Should this episode end with the departure of Pedro, it would
      indicate failure of the management of the community, because
      people should not be drawn out to this point; it is beyond healthy
      discord. However with confidence in improved process and
      governance, it may make it easier for contributors to stay
      committed, having confidence in the governance and  knowing that
      we have all learned from this experience.
    
    
Best wishes,
Stuart.
