# '''Discussion''' – The team evaluates the member’s suitability and relevant factors.
# '''Vote''' – The nomination is put to a vote. Votes are generally neutral, with no comments by the proposer in the vote channel.
# '''Outcome''' – A decision is reached over time, or after further discussion if needed.
