It seems to me that we need a common understanding rather than
some kind of majority votes. Premature decisions will just split
the community, and weaken EuroPython.

What would such "votes" mean? Would they just be seen as an
expression of opinion, or should they be deciding in some way?

If we "vote" without agreeing on what the consequences of the
voting will be, the vote won't solve anything.

Who gets the right to formulate the questions and to decide when
it's time to vote? Who is bound by these "decisions"? Who is
responsible for the way things are handled? What ways are there
to correct problems in the process that answers these questions?

Some kind of formal organisation with proper bylaws and members
have a much better way of dealing with questions like this than
a mailing list.

I hope we can agree on a way to create such an organisation.
