- The goal of the final discussion is to reach agreement on the next step:
(1) accept or (2) decline.
- The discussion is expected to be resolved in a timely manner.
- - In Go development historically, a lack of agreement means decline.
- - If there is disagreement about whether there is agreement,
- [rsc@](mailto:rsc@golang.org) is the arbiter.
+ - If clear agreement cannot be reached, the arbiter
+ ([rsc@](mailto:rsc@golang.org)) reviews the discussion
+ and makes the decision to accept or decline.
