This PR defines our current governance and general structure of 2i2c, as well as our relationship to ICSI. It closes https://github.com/2i2c-org/meta/issues/133.

To re-iterate, the point here is not to create new governance, but to put names and labels to our current governing structures. For suggestions about improvements to our governance, see https://github.com/2i2c-org/meta/issues/158. But let's focus this PR around "describing" rather than changing.

I am not sure whether this PR requires a formal vote from the @2i2c-org/founders. On the one hand, it is a change related to governance, which in general I think requires votes. On the other hand, it is not trying to change the substance of our governance, only describe it explicitly.

If anybody believes that we need to have a founding team vote for this, please do not hesitate to suggest one. Otherwise, I'll plan to leave this open for several days to give people a chance to provide input.

Another ping for the @2i2c-org/founders on this issue. I'll leave it open until mid-next week. Unless anybody suggests that we need to have a vote on it, I'll plan to merge unless anybody suggests changes or has comments to discuss.

* Open an issue in the `meta/` GitHub repository using [the {guilabel}`decision` template](https://github.com/2i2c-org/meta/issues/new?assignees=&labels=decision&template=decision.md&title=%7B%7B+Decision+Summary+%7D%7D).
* Have conversation around the decision in that issue. This may happen in the issue directly, or in ancillary issues, meetings, etc that are relevant. The decision issue should link to these relevant spaces.
* Once everybody has voted, note the decision in the issue and close it.

To my understanding, the notions of "voting" and "consensus" (above) are incompatible.

Ah - I was interpreting consensus to mean "every vote must be in favor in order to proceed". Is that not clear here? Or does it differ from your understanding of consensus?

It was not clear to me.

I'll make that language more explicit 👍

Updated the proposal per @rabernat's suggestions above 👍

Will leave it open another day or two in case others have thoughts.
