Committee recommendations are decided by a simple majority vote.
134134
The reasons for the recommendation should be written and added as a comment to the discussion thread.
135135
The minority may, if they desire, write up their reasons for recommending otherwise, and decision makers may take this into account.

### Archiving
138+
139+
If there has been no substantial activity on a proposal for three months, any member of the committee may archive the proposal by closing the associated pull request with a comment to that effect.
140+
Here, "substantial" activity is activity that the committee member believes may lead to a revision to the proposal or a vote by the committee.
141+
Archived proposals may be reopened by reopening the pull request if someone wants to make progress on them again, and reopening a proposal counts as substantial activity.
142+
143+
### Errata
144+
145+
Accepted proposals should be considered to be final documents, not subject to further updates.
146+
During implementation, there will naturally be differences between the described project and what actually happens.
147+
For projects that use Haskell Foundation resources, the implemented project should be in the spirit and budget of the original proposal; evaluating this is the job of the HF executive team.
148+
There is no obligation to modify the original proposal to account for new knowledge gained during implementation.
149+
150+
Proposals that contain cosmetic issues, such as Markdown mistakes, may be updated without further discussion.
151+
Proposals that contain genuine mistakes may have an errata page added at the discretion of the HF executive team, who may refer the matter to the committee.
