Not that this has happened before, but I don't think the TSC usually insists on approving a nomination even though there is objection (or it should) , so this somewhat changes the actual meaning of the passage?
What I have in mind when I read this is more like:
If a Collaborator opposes the nomination, the TSC must try to resolve the disagreement.
If the disagreement cannot be resolved within <insert time>, the nomination fails.
The difference is that the resolution process does not exclude non-TSC collaborators (or the nominee).

I definitely see what you're saying, @joyeecheung. My intention was to remove the whole thing about the TSC being responsible for facilitating anything. While the TSC could choose to do that, I'm not sure it is terribly relevant or accurate to say that they are responsible for it. Moreover, such actions are far more likely to be taken by individual TSC members independently than by the TSC as a whole. Lastly, as you point out, this has literally never come up.
The whole "TSC can override the objection" thing wasn't supposed to be new material, but I see that I was reading too much into the text. So I've removed it. PTAL!

@benjamingr I've removed one significant sentence since your approval. Might be a good idea to check again to make sure your approval still stands? |
