or the term of the
current chair expires, the PMC will attempt to reach consensus on a new
chair through discussion, confirming that consensus via a vote to
recommend a new chair using a lazy 2/3 majority voting method.
In the case that consensus is not achieved, the PMC
will vote for a chair using Single Transferable Vote (STV) voting. Seehttp://wiki.apache.org/general/BoardVoting for specifics.

same chair to serve consecutive terms.
