From [[MotuProcessesSpec]]: A term length of 2 years was decided and two of the nominees start off with one year term, namely `crimsun` and `gpocentek`.

== Decision making ==
The MOTU Council will have a quorum of three. Decisions are made with a simple majority. As soon as a Council member calls for a vote (on the MC mailing list), the council members have 48 hours to cast their votes. In case three affirmative votes have been cast before 48 hours have elapsed, the decision is valid immediately. Otherwise a simple majority of the votes will result in the decision.
