Merging of pull requests must be decided during a meeting that has a minimal quorum of 50% of all active members. Members with observer status are not considered active members for the purposes of reaching quorum. A pull request that is is unable to reach quorum due to lack of consensus or quorum must not be merged into this repository.

+#### Errata and Editorial Changes
+
+A special exception is made for pull requests seeking to fix errata or perform editorial changes to this repository. Errata or editorial pull requests may be merged without being presented at a meeting if a reasonable time is given for review and there no dissent. The time period seen as reasonable for review varies on a case by case basis as determined by the author. A member may request a specific time period for review of a errata or editorial pull request not to exceed the next meeting date. If a time for review is requested, members must wait for that time period to pass or review be completed prior to that time.
