---+ On Obstructionism

The BPFK is dedicated to arriving at a definition of Lojban in collaboration and in good faith. The expectation is that decisions shall be made by consensus, and tothat end votes against a proposal are granted significant power. Commissioners are entitled to vote against proposals if they make a fair assessment of the proposal on its merits, and in accordance with the guidelines of the BPFK and the board statement.

However, if a commissioner uses their vote in a way disruptive to the operation of the BPFK --- that is, as a "blanket" yes or no vote, with the stated intent of impeding reforms or conservation, then the BPFK chair shall be entitled to start the process of expelling that commissioner, to safeguard the operation of the BPFK.

The BPFK Chair shall need to justify their decision to the commissioners as a whole and to the board, establishing to their satisfaction that deliberate obstructionism has in fact taken place. Subject to [[July202003PollIssue8]], any move to expel a commissioner must be ratified by the commission in a formal vote.
