+Governance Model Changes
+------------------------
+
+Governance model changes occur through an enhancement proposal or a GitHub Pull
+Request. An enhancement proposal will go through "**the decision-making process**"
+described in the previous section. Alternatively, an author may propose a change
+directly to the governance model with a GitHub Pull Request. Logistically, an
+author can open a Draft Pull Request for feedback and follow up with a new
+revised Pull Request for voting. Once that author is happy with the state of the
+Pull Request, they can call for a vote on the public mailing list. During the
+one-month voting period, the Pull Request can not change. A Pull Request
+Approval will count as a positive vote, and a "Request Changes" review will
+count as a negative vote. If two-thirds of the cast votes are positive, then
+the governance model change is accepted.
