Whilte you make a good argument, I think you're leaving out something.
It's the author's responsibility to maintain an address where
LDraw.org can contact them on organizational business. Plus, LDraw.org
announces important things like this through the 'proper channels'
like LUGNET News (or whatever primary discussion medium in the future,
which will be well known), and the LDraw.org site itself. Again, if
the author is so concerned with the license on their parts, its their
responsibility to be 1) reachable by the notices, and 2) vote if
they're against the change.

I agree with the timeout, and that the authors need to maintain their
email addr on record updated.  I'm not sure we should discount Peter's
note though, that right now we're setting up a system that by default
will accept change - that is not a bad thing, but shouldn't there be a
minimum agreement that change is needed?

Requireing a minimum percentage of authors that actually agree that the
change is needed seems like a good idea to me.  Perhaps the percentage
shouldn't be of all the authors, but of the authors that have been
active for the past year, or whatever.  That will avoid changing the
license based on 1 yes vote, and nothing else.


That kind of makes sense.  I'm writing a new CA draft and I'll take that into
consideration.
