`staging/` protocol.

## 3. Amending this document
## 3. NACKs
1. Expressing a NACK is the sole purview of listed points-of-contact from member projects,
as specified in MEMBERS.md.
A NACK must be grounded in technical reasoning, and it constitutes the final resort
to block protocols which would harm the ecosystem or the project.
2. Any non-point-of-contact mentioning a NACK on a non-governance protocol issue, merge request,
or mailing list thread, for any purpose, shall be banned from the project for a
period of no fewer than three months. Additional penalties for repeat infractions
may be imposed at the discretion of a membership majority. A warning, delivered in private
if at all possible, shall be issued instead of a ban for first-time violations of this rule.
Any comments violating this rule shall be explicitly marked by member projects to indicate that
the NACK is invalid and has no bearing.
3. Any member project mentioning a NACK on a non-governance protocol issue, merge request,
or mailing list thread, for any reason that may be considered non-technical,
may undergo trial by eligible member projects upon receiving a written accusation of
impropriety. This accusation may be public or private, and it may occur by any method
of written communication.
If this NACK is determined by 2/3 majority of eligible member projects to be used improperly,
the offending point-of-contact shall be removed.
4. Eligible member projects during such review periods are those who have opted not to recuse themselves.
## 4. Amending this document
1. An amendment to this document may be proposed by any member project by
submitting a merge request on Gitlab.
