Rules

Every number a problem’s steward panel runs on, as the graph’s policy.json sets it. A change is one curator pull request naming its reason, and applies from the next motion opened (D-32 v3.34).

Setting	Value	What it does	Set
Share of counted votes a motion needs `vote_threshold`	1/2	The share of counted votes a motion needs. It passes when yes votes are at least numerator/denominator of the counted votes AND more than the no votes, so a tie never passes. 1/2 is a simple majority; 2/3 a two-thirds majority. Default 1/2.	the default (never changed)
How long a motion stays open `vote_window_days`	14 days	How many days a motion stays open for votes after the day it was opened. Only votes cast inside the window count; a steward who does not vote counts neither way. Default 14.	the default (never changed)
Fewest counted votes on a larger panel `vote_minimum`	2	The fewest counted votes a motion needs to pass once the panel has at least vote_minimum_from members, so one voice cannot speak for a large silent panel. Default 2.	the default (never changed)
Panel size from which that minimum applies `vote_minimum_from`	3	The panel size from which vote_minimum applies. Below it, one counted vote can pass a motion. Default 3.	the default (never changed)
Most stewardships one person may hold `steward_cap`	5	The most problems one person may steward at once, counted across the graph without lapsed stewardships, so no one can take every problem. Default 5.	the default (never changed)
Quiet time before a steward lapses `steward_lapse_days`	183 days	Days without a signed act on a problem (a steward record, a motion, a vote, a write-up record, a words signature) after which a steward lapses from its panel. Nothing is rewritten; they rejoin by the usual route. Default 183, about six months.	the default (never changed)
How a first steward is admitted `steward_admission`	open	open: a problem’s first steward admits themself by signing the commitment; later stewards join by the panel’s invitation or a curator.	policy.json
