I think the document might be able to be clarified because I worry
that the following two statements are in conflict:

"[technical committee] decides on issues affecting multiple projects,
forms an ultimate appeals board for technical decisions, and generally
has oversight over all OpenStack projects."

"Each OpenStack core project has an elected Project Technical Lead
("PTL") who drives the project goals and has the final call over
technical disputes within that project. Each project community should
be self-managing by the contributors, and all disputes should be
resolved through active debate and discussion by the community itself.
However if a given debate cannot be clearly resolved, the PTL can make
the final call."

I suspect it's just a matter of language not sentiment, and that the
intention is for the PTL to guide her project aligning with the
greater OpenStack project


Thank you,
Lloyd
