I don't actually see that happen. It's the advocates/sponsors who
convert their subjective impression into a +1/-1 which can then be
counted by the council. So if the guideline is e. g. "a candiate gets
approved if he has >= 3 advocates and no objections", this is not a
subjective criteria from the council.
