- Voting: In situations where consensus cannot be reached, decisions may be made through a simple majority vote among the maintainers.
- Conflict Resolution: If conflicts arise, maintainers are responsible for facilitating a resolution. The Commonhaus Foundation Council (CFC) can be asked to mediate the discussion, if necessary.
