There will be a list of projects that are +known to be involved at the time within a specification. Those cross-project +specification liaisons will need to sign off on the specification with a +2. + +Assuming there is consensus with those that are involved, the specification +will be merged (Workflow+1) by the cross-project chair after final discussion +in the `cross-project meeting +`_. + +In the cases where consensus cannot be met with the projects involved +with a cross-project specification, the specification can be appealed to the +Technical Committee to discuss a final decision. + +Projects that have nothing to do with the specification may provide feedback in +the review, but the decision is up to those that will ultimately have to +implement the specification in their project.
