-This RFC seeks to review the "Discussion Period" section of the voting RFC, the following problems exist:+This RFC seeks to review the "Discussion Period" section of the [[rfc:voting|voting]] RFC, quoted here: 
 + 
 +<blockquote> 
 +There'd be a minimum of 2 weeks between when an RFC that touches the language is brought up on this list and when it's voted on is required. Other RFCs might use a smaller timeframe, but it should be at least a week. The effective date will not be when the RFC was published on the PHP wiki - but when it was announced on internals@lists.php.net, by the author, with the intention of voting on it. This period can be extended when circumstances warrant it - such as major conferences, key people being busy, force major events, or when discussion merits it - but should never be less than minimal time. 
 + 
 +This does not preclude discussion on the merits on any idea or proposal on the list without formally submitting it as a proposal, but the discussion time is measured only since the formal discussion announcement as described above.

 +Proposals that are moved to the voting stage too quickly are likely to receive negative votes; It is in the authors best interest to resolve all points brought up during discussion before moving to a vote.

 +A proposal in discussion phase that has not had received any input on internals (from the author or otherwise) for the period of one calendar month shall be considered stale: Stale proposals must be re-initiated as per the "Proposal Initiation" section of this document, restarting the discussion period.
