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.
