most typical cases of such conflicts.


Approval Process
================

As the application of this policy has potential legal ramifications for the
Python Software Foundation, the approval process used is more formal than that
used for most PEPs.

Rather than accepting the PEP directly, the assigned BDFL-Delegate will instead
recommend its acceptance to the PSF's Packaging Working Group. After
consultation with the PSF's General Counsel, adoption of the policy will then
be subject to a formal vote within the working group.

The aim of this approach is to help make it clear that any concerns with the
outcome of the policy should be taken up with the PSF directly, rather than
with the community volunteers that take on the responsibility of applying it.

This formal approval process will be used for both initial adoption of the
policy, and for adoption of any future amendments.
