[Foundation-l] On closing projects

[Jesse Martin (Pathoschild)]

Hello,

Stewards cannot do what you suggest as stewards. One of the core
principles of stewardship is that they do not make decisions; see
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_policies#Don.27t_decide>. If
consensus is not obvious, a steward can't make a decision. If
consensus is obvious, no decision is necessary to forward it to the
board.

Yours cordially,
Jesse Martin (Pathoschild)
