Your welcome!

I undid your changes since *a procedure needs to have Action items clearly
identified to be able to track any upgrade required to the proposed
procedure*.

Your inquiry is related to  Action 2 of the proposed procedure:

>Action 2: Sugar Labs Oversight Board members manage project funds, and
according to available balance on Sugar Labs Accounts at the date of the
request, they must try to reach consensus in the form of majority of votes
to approve or disapprove the request. Once the request gets approved or
disapproved the decision shall be documented on
https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/Decisions.


Please be as specific as possible. What else would you like Action 2 to say?

We can add it once we have a better understanding of your suggestion.


Regards and thanks for helping out

Laura
