# How decisions are made

The Jupyter Server team follows the ["Decision Making" Guidelines](https://jupyter.org/governance/decision_making.html#required-aspects-of-decision-making) described in the main Jupyter governance documents.

In short, we'll first seek an informal consensus. If a clear consensus cannot be reached, an active team member can call for a vote. The voting process then follows the guidelines laid out by the [Jupyter Governance model]((https://jupyter.org/governance/decision_making.html#required-aspects-of-decision-making)).

## Team size

There is no limit to the size of the team. We follow the [guidelines laid out](https://jupyter.org/governance/bootstrapping_decision_making.html#bootstrapping-decision-making-bodies) by the broader Jupyter governance model which encourages a large, highly participatory decision body:

> The new governance model and decision-making guide is designed to support large, highly participatory decision-making bodies. As such, even Subprojects that have a clear decision-making body today may wish to increase the size of that body to include more contributors.
