This involves establishing a decision rule for each particular issue, where a majority is defined to have a specific threshold, and subsequently conducting a vote. This approach is loosely based on the W3C's guidelines for deciding by vote, as [outlined in the W3C Process Document](https://www.w3.org/2023/Process-20231103/#decisions). A vote should only be conducted after all attempts at consensus through technical discussion and compromise have failed. It is important to note that, in this context, a Member or group of related Members is considered a single organization, aligning with the W3C's principles. + ## Code of Conduct The Solid Team follows the [Solid Community Code of Conduct](https://github.com/solid/process/blob/main/code-of-conduct.md)
