Vote: Yes

I believe I understand the intent of Veto section under "3 Voting" of the bylaws, that any successful consensus vote must not have outstanding vetos.

The wording of Lazy&  Three-Vote Consensus reads like you cannot veto.  Perhaps change to "There are no unresolved vetos"


> A must be accompanied by a justification; a Veto without a 
> justification is invalid. If a Veto is raised then the voter who 
> raised the veto and those who support the proposed action must work 
> together to reach a mutually-agreeable resolution. If a Veto is 
> resolved then the voter who raised the Veto must withdraw that vote by 
> explicitly abstaining or by casting a Yes vote.
