I'm no expert wordsmith...

"Decisions by vote in the IRC Council require at least half of the

(I say 'decisions by vote' & not  'decisions'  as lots of decisions
the irc council makes, such as deciding to request a cloak for a user
really don't need a vote)

Well put, that is exactly what I want to define in the document as
confusion around this area has caused unnecessary strife with issues
around xubuntu & ubuntu-devel.

Agreed, that would not only be 'bad' to aim for, but impractical &
tbh, impossible to do.
