[Swift-devel] [VOTE] Proposal to adjust Committers list

[Ben Clifford]

+1

On a procedural note, I don't believe the following:

> The vote closes in 5 days per my read of the guidelines - same time, 
> June 10.

to be mandated by the guidelines, although I suspect it may have been the 
original intention of the authors; you appear perfectly within your 
liberty to specify that time limit or any other on the vote (as both you 
did and I did on my votes).

The 5 day (120 hour) requirement is that a vote result message be posted 
within that time if any -1 vote has been made. There appears to me to be 
no other treatement within the guidelines of a vote closing.
