How the steering committee worked
After the November 9 freeze, every open proposal on the 24 DPs and the front matter got a recorded decision. Two steering members had to agree on the same decision (and, to accept a revision, the same text) before it was carried out. The work ran in four stages: proposal review, a cross-DP check, a style pass, and a final read ending in two sign-offs on each document. Each closed stage keeps its full record below. Voting and the steering chat are for steering members; everything else is public.
